Untitiled (Potted Plant), oil on canvas, 50×60cm, 2020

, #10 is a way of looking at the reality based on a person and one’s body, hence realizing image production from what has been seen and heard. Thus, they are the pictorial realities in response to or parallel to the physical reality. The body becomes the critical entry by which the artist enters abstraction – it is the intersection of all realities, the abstraction within the real, and vice versa.

This work is based on works by Edward Hopper (1882–1967). Using a “realist” scene constructed by Hopper as a prototype, seven original works are intertwined with past works by the artist. The “reality of art” re-interprets the “super-arty” world. The whole mime is interspersed with the artist’s expressions concerning “arty” and “super-arty”. All of the features that appear in this work point to an exploration of “art” itself. One could say that without the artist’s misinterpretation of “art”, there would certainly be no better definition of “Super-Arty”.
