“Tangerine Tango” uses the photographic device of depth of field to draw the viewer into the canvas. By blurring the motif in the foreground on the right, our eyes travels past it deep into the image space, where a mass of foliate forms frame a warm glow of orange. It is a work that seems to exude the heat and steaminess and fecundity of a tropical jungle.
My creation has always focused on natural scenes in real life. I will take some pictures of natural scenes in daily life, integrate my understanding and transformation of contemporary electronic information society in the form of expression, use electronic technology as a tool to process pictures in the creation and make secondary creation of accurate actual life pictures records, one is to process it into a more surreal highly saturated, distorted image from the colour point of view, and the other is to integrate their own conceptualisation and abstract expression of images in image processing. The first layer is my thinking on transforming the current social culture of all human thought systems. In recent years the development of electronic technology on the impact and impact of various industries in society, the positioning and identity of human subjective initiative and creativity in this impact; The second layer is the identity of each person under the integration of electronic information, under the influence of different life backgrounds and diverse cultural heritage. Therefore, in processing the image, I added other materials, thereby expressing different effects and hierarchical spaces. The texture and traces left on the picture correspond to my thinking about identity. These images that I use the subconscious to interpret structurally remove some partial concrete expressions, and the superposition in the photo material and memory deviation generates more lines and different painting techniques, destroying the original complete figurative scene it is pursuing the vitality of the picture, forming a scattered and cramped state. These manifestations kick back my impact on human beings in electronic technology in contemporary society, and my process of digitising image information, in turn, is also my reflection and examination of this state of life.
