ZENG Hao, <June 20th, 2002>, Oil on canvas, 73x60cm, 2002
ZENG Hao June 20th, 2002
Zeng Hao captures an individual’s state of mind, personal impression and ambient changes he felt in the canvas. Common items such as bed, closet, pot, and images of shy characters can be found in his paintings. In particular, <04:06am of May. 9th, 1998>(1998) is one of the series of his major works, and it enables the viewers to imagine stories behind the work through the arrangement of various props such as characters, family, and electricity in a seemingly irrelevant combination. The pictures of families or spaces drawn by Zeng Hao connote the feeling of ambiguous isolation that is difficult to guess, and although they look perfect, they evoke the feeling of bleakness as they are drawn in perspective. It seems the artist is using his work as a metaphor for the vulnerable nature of relationships and demarcated realities of today’s modern society. |
