Artist's Statement:
I was once asked about the difference of a neophyte in art and a master. To this I answered: A neophyte is young and learning, paints with his hands and mind, while a master paints with his hands, mind and heart and is seasoned enough to be a genius.
In this 23rd one-man show of my recent works, my first attempt for my first black and white solo show, I chose to probe why black is beautiful. With these various subjects I enjoyed creating, there is proof that black can't stand alone without light. Black is the structure and white is the highlight.
Intermingling is the keyword to the creation of some of my works. A singular subject may be presented in different angles...of different shapes...with different shades.
Interspersing is another method I employ to compose my subjects. I break the continuity of lines by crossing lines with it. Even shades can be overshadowed with another shade.
Of course there are countless ways to create a work of art, as there are many ways to fill our lives with art... to instill life to our world of art.
Nations are at war because of politics...nations are at peace because of art. Art is the only language the world can speak. So, let the artist speak to the world!
