Statement
"Plane and depth" means a transformation from a spatial definition based on clearly separated planes to a spatial understanding based on continuous receding. Traditional printmaking is a kind of plane art. Its depth of ideology and language makes it stand out from other paintings. Because it can transform the beauty of plane into a dynamic and profound beauty. This expression is due to the special language of printmaking. The artistic language of printmaking is characterized by generalization and refinement, and its artistic charm comes from the high concentration and conciseness of life. From the changes in woodcut techniques to the bedding of large color blocks in silkscreen, it undoubtedly shows the vocabulary of this art form. However, this form of graphic does not exist in real life, which belongs to a higher level of artistic generalization. Digital printmaking brings a visual experience to a higher level than traditional printmaking. The effect it creates expands the plane into a wider, deeper space because it is not limited by materials and technology - it creates a magical, virtual realm of illusion. Let imagination and artistry go beyond reality, bring the audience a montage of visual effects, this is the artistic charm of digital prints that I have been pursuing. Most of my works use a combination of digital images and silkscreen, presented through a variety of media materials.
