what
is
it
in a
painting
which
attracts us
or
repulses?
It
may
be
about
the
painting's
subject.
To
me,
escaping
from
the
subject
is
such
a
trike
which
makes
me
far
from
a
narrative,
and
this
is
what
save
my
painting
from
banality.
Actually
I
make
an
effort
to
reject
any
kind
of
idea
going
inside
my
work
.I
know
this
the
available
possibility
of
conceptual
painting
indeed
as Baldessari do;
to
achieve
art,
he
quitted
painting
inevitably.
Why
do I
run
away
from
narrative in
my
works?
I
know
what
the
answer is;
because
narrative in
painting
is a
seductive
element
totally.
So I sought a kind of concepts and manners in painting which helped me not to be involved with narrative stuffs. It was painting landscapes and still lifes at firs but then I felt working on animals has such a great powerful paradox basically that is what I want! This is exactly like the Diana and Actaeonmyth that human turn into animal and vice versa.
