Weekend of visiting exhibitions
I decided to get out and about this weekend and I chose in advance the exhibitions.
These are new cold abstract works created by the artist Linxiang Li in recent years. These works take material from everyday life and use abstract expression to present a quiet, distant oriental philosophical rhythm, fusing the elegance, delicacy and depth of traditional Chinese ink painting into a new painting language.
When I look at his work I am always amazed at how someone can express their emotions with a few basic elements and simple compositions. I think this is what I am missing in my work, how to use basic elements and flat language to produce strong work is something I need to address in the next phase.
