   ARTIST'S STATEMENT

    In the Chinese culture, the aesthetical properties are characterized by their pursuit of the distinct delicacy, exquisiteness and implicitness by means of artistic expressions full of symbolic and metaphoric meanings so as to reach the spiritual world of extensiveness and profundity. Therefore , such properties have already constituted the profound composition of aesthetical psychology of the Chinese people, cultivated by their cultural traditions which have been continuing its existence for thousands of years. Such an "ethnic culture complex" is unique and unchangeable as the Chinese people have been continuing to attach great importance to the aesthetical pleasures and relative forms and disciplines gradually developed from the profundity of the traditional cultures even today when the time has seen the rapid development of science and technology ,the swift blending of multiple cultures and especially the special emphasis upon the spirit of individual freedom . Whatever happens, what needs to be done is how to render the contemporary meanings to the cultural traditions for the purpose of fuller development and broader expansion of their spiritual connotation and  relative disciplines and forms. Based upon such an understanding, an aesthetical form with visual pleasures in any art work , in my artistic ideas ,should surpass the metaphors , explanations and implicit meanings of any so-called "profound theory" in the work and such an aesthetical from should be of the exploratory and innovative nature. Thus, my mind has been wholly concentrated on my exploration, discovery and mastery of the beauty in the delicacy and exquisiteness of the clay and magic glamour of fire by different means of tools, materials, textures, colors and forms. And, meanwhile, I have found pleasures and freedom in giving my works some meaning. The visual pleasure constitutes the foundation of the works, from which I have tried to pursue a lyrical romance and gracefulness. In such a working circumstance, such elements as forms, textures, colors and expansion of spaces of my works embody the natural formation of the spirit in the subject. The monologue of the mind, great longing for the beauty, yearning desire for freedom, the heart shaking power of the art ,are fully demonstrated as different factors of the form of the works, This is a working process of an outburst of enthusiasm and sober-minded thinking. What I have been dreaming of and pursuing is an aspiration to demonstrate the process of development of human mentality and thinking from the time immemorial, to reflect the past glory in the description of desolateness, to seek the significance within a full comprehension, introspection and promotion of the Oriental civilization and to try all the efforts to give the works a contemporary meaning beyond the "Orient Complex".
