For my more recent artworks, I attempt to paint ideal architectural spaces drawn from my imagination not restricted by established conventions of construction.  The works feature scenery that I have foreseen in my mind and the situations that play out there.  In addition to a few urban scenes, most of my works present structures I thought up while painting or sculptures shaped like houses.  Some of the shapes are even derived from the works of a few other artists.  Although the works allude to images of urban civilization, their architectural spaces form the paintings’ motifs, or rather the origins for their language.  To create my paintings, I use a ruler and pen to draw shapes that I sporadically alter or reconstruct.  There is little planning that goes into the composition of these images.  Throughout the painting process, the motion of my hand provides vital support and simulation for the paint tools (disposable wooden sticks, intentionally fuzzy scales, masking tape that can be used repeatedly, and more).

Many of the works present spatial structures strong in character that can be seen as byproducts of the construction/deconstruction and drawing/erasing process.  They are shaped from the manifestations of a cycle of construction, detachment, and restoration, forming a spatial entity that holds many possibilities.  They appear in the shape of overbearing forms and call forth a bold presence throughout the entire image.  Although with concrete, flat, spacious, hollow, or dense forms, the meanings they reveal are very uncertain in nature.  The only possible common point lies in not necessarily having any practical function.  The presentation of the work more likely provides a type of special visual realm.  Entering, existing, or visiting temporarily, the viewers will sense a stagnant tendency, which has yet a sense of momentum to it.

For this exhibition, A Block is the label (as is common in novels or reports, such as “Mr. A”, “Chart A,” “Group A”...) referring to the building space for this wide range of uncertain appearances.  These works resonate with the urban spaces or sensations that viewers experience while being in a city.  They also supplement the relationship at that moment between people’s bodies and the space.
