MALIGNANT LANDSCAPE SERIES

Malignant Landscape Statement
They are exploring the relationship to culture and natural environment. This series of watercolors is trying to tell the stories of life and death, science and art, religion and politics that are all one in the same. They are trying many directions to express our themes, both macro and micro, to represent cancer in landscape as a global issue. Cancer caused by pollution, is not only inside our cells, but also now a part of the earth. On a macro scale, air pollution can be considered to be cancer in landscape, and on a micro scale, this disease is in the cells of our bodies.

Haze Series Statement

Haze is a series gas masks made of traditional Chinese blue and white porcelain. I use underglaze color to paint the landscape on the gas masks. The beauty of Chinese traditional and the ecological destruction of the real world form the distinctcontrast, which is displayed together in every piece of ceramic work. What they want to express is not only the concern for the environment, but also the implied meaning that probably the key to solving the environmental problems is just theChinese culture. Chinese traditional philosophy advocate the theory that “human isan integral part of nature” on the relationship among human being, heaven, and earth. China’s environmental problems are not only from the outside world, but alsofrom the realm of spirit. If the wisdom of Chinese traditional culture can give all the modern people a warning of living in harmony with the nature and observing the natural law, there is no doubt that it is an important part of environmental governance.
