Psychological

In the last stage of my creation, I focused on my personal emotional expression and focused my creation on my personal emotional changes. Using the toothpaste foam that he exudes after facing the emotion every day, he paints the subject without specific image, and adds the monotonous colors that belong to the emotion of the day, so as to make the audience feel the same way with simple and aimless paintings. Show your emotions to the public through yourself and tell people that it is normal to have emotions. I hope everyone can face emotions directly.

In the new stage, I am still in the continuation of psychological emotional expression. The difference is that I reprocessed the photo of the toothpaste foam. In the process of reprocessing, I found that the toothpaste foam in my eyes began to take on a concrete image. And these specific images are all animals. Whales, octopuses, frogs, sheep. I wondered. Is it the DNA in my mouth that creates these animals, or is there some underlying emotion inside of me that causes my eyes to get the animal's feedback as they feed the picture information back to the brain. In the first unit of creation, I spent a lot of energy to explore the relationship between man and nature. I didn't get a clear answer at the time about the relationship. Perhaps the mutually reinforcing relationship between man and nature is rooted in the subconscious. So when I explore even single human emotions, everything about nature comes out. With all that said, I decided to start painting the images I saw. The shapes of these animals carry my emotions, and they also imply the wonderful connection between human emotions and nature.

Physical

Since psychological emotions can be linked to things in nature through the representational image of animals, then whether things in nature that once had life will always have psychological emotions. From the perspective of psychology, many mental diseases have physical manifestations. Common anxiety, physical performance for the hand tremors. Therefore, 'psychological' and 'physical' can be expressed together in certain specific situations, and 'symptoms' -- here, the expression of artistic creation -- can be multiplied.

 

A experiment on plants and even the plants in the experiment on the polygraph, and spoke to plant or to make a series of behaviors. Over the course of the experiment, the plants exhibited human-like responses, such as fear and stress, according to the fluctuating frequency of the polygraph. So I thought there's no better way to embody physical emotion than with plants.

 

In the second series of creation, I choose happened plants for material quality of life. To bring these plants back to life, like foxes carved out of wood and so on. This is a new attempt, because this time 'psychological' and 'physical' are reflected together, not to transform existing emotions into concrete paintings, but to illustrate through my paintings that a large number of existing concrete things in life have emotions themselves.

Public

I have been thinking about the relationship between art creation and the public. Is it public only when art becomes a commodity and is popularized in the market? I've been trying to figure out what 'public' is, but I haven't got a clear answer. Art being exhibited in a gallery, being seen by the audience, can be defined as entering the public domain. Art that is collected by collectors through sale can be defined as entering the public domain. Works of art are used as money in the market at all levels and can be defined as entering the public domain. Of course, I very much hope that my work is valuable, the audience like, buy. However, when my works have not been loved or even bought by so many people, or in today's art hype, as a student about to enter the society, what can I do to bring my art ideas into the public domain? While studying emotional reification, I got the answer.

 

Defines the representational objects already in the public domain and then, put my artistic thought and want to express emotions attached to existing objects. After watching my works, the audience can think about all the 'physical' things in their real life in a 'psychological' way. That's as' open 'as I can be at this stage.
