Description

Upon a grey-blue background, maroon lines are painted vertically to encompass the entire linen surface. Among the organized vertical lines, numerous thinner, darker in pigment lines travel through freely, giving a tap of spontaneity to the well-designed background. "Line Field" series at its initial stage to the artist was an experiment and exploration on the relationships between point, line, surface (2D), and eventually, spacial units (3D). Later on the artist was interest to explore the intersecting spaces (line over line, for example), the alternating representations of the "real" and the "virtual" (perhaps by factures), and what an art writer termed "formal aestheticism".
