Description
In the work's background, we can read a number of parallel, vertical, encompassing lines painted in black tones. The vertical lines gives the work a crisply organized background. Upon the background, disordered -- almost spontaneous -- lines are orchestrated by multiple colors (red, green, brown, etc.) and perhaps, various mediums as well. "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".
