The basis of my art career
lies in brush calligraphy. The black ink used for this type of art has
the ability to represent a variety of tones that reflect upon other
colours in the spectrum. The black ink, rice paper, ink stones, and
brushes have a significant role in creating the beauty of monochrome,
which shows the strength in comparison of black and white and effuses
the energy given from the power in brush strokes. The art of monochrome
has not shown any change over many centuries and has been described as
highly simple but also very controlling as it is the foundation of Asian
philosophy and captures the spirit of human beings. |
Today, my goal is to apply monochrome
techniques onto pottery. This is more difficult to do than ordinary
monochrome because the application of glaze on pottery is different from
ink on paper as glaze does not seep into the clay like ink does into
paper. Concentration and energy is needed for this new combination of
pottery and monochrome. At the end of a long road travelled by an
artist, there will be many doors of opportunities. When one door closes,
another one opens, but we look so long at the closed door that another
one that has opened is invisible to our eyes because we look so long at
the closed door. I will go through this one open door that leads to and
connects with nature, and pursue my art career till the end. |
