Circles:

 

I have reviewed the paintings of many masters, like Van Gogh, Monet, and Matisse, for many times. Although they were painters' decades or even a hundred years ago, their works are still masterpieces today. I feel that once a great work is created, it lives on forever. I.e., Masterpieces do not become a dust in time.

 

Inspired by the observation, I created a series of work called “Circles”. First, I would like to show that the classical works of the masters will always be circulated, and their meaning will not fade away with the passage of time. I borrowed the brush strokes of Matisse and picked up the colors of Matisse, Van Gogh, and Monet and followed the form with carved dashes, thus creating a circular effect. Second, I want to convey the idea on ceramic because the ceramic is hard and durable after it is fired. This property of ceramic reflects the strong, lasting characteristics of the masterpieces. I hope my works can last forever too.
