“My artistic research centres around ‘origin’ and ‘measures’. In the past, they were things like tempera and perspective, and now are scientific fundamentals in the areas of mathematics, optics, mechanics, and even emerging technologies. I am always intoxicated in art delivered out of these fundamentals as opposed to those based on conventional approaches. Triangle is the most common theme of my paintings, as it is one of the most basic and simple geometric forms and the origin for paradoxical meanings. The infinite possibility of a triangle that enabled my repetitive use of it to create various optical illusions.”
