已知與未知的困惑 —— 英國抽象派畫家 Tim Bailey 東方哲學觀抽象水墨繪畫作品欣賞
Things are produced around us, but no one knows the whence. They issue forth, but no one sees the portal. Men one and all value that part of knowledge which is known. They do not know how to avail themselves of the unknown in order to reach knowledge. Is not this misguided?
—— Chuang Tzu(莊子)
My work is an on going project concerned with the nature of impermanence and ambiguity as in any fluid state. I draw insight from both eastern and western philosophies. I want my paintings to suggest simultaneously a sense of confusion and familiarity. The known and unknown.
Aerial photography, pictorial landscape, urban decay and other themes repeat themselves. I hope to offer the viewer a brief glimpse of a "fleeting moment".
