Paradise Lost

painting series

“Paradise Lost” is a series which accumulates the artist’s mixed technique paintings created in the genre of appropriation, with a focus on the theme of Paradise. The paintings feature art historically canonized paintings and kitsch paintings, remixed by the artist. By masking out the figures in the paintings with black enamel, the works undergo a formal transformation, and the titles given by the artist often rewrite the stories with a high hand. At once figurative and abstract, the works thus generated form an organic part of the artist’s private mythology, which integrates the cultural material of different historical periods and continents. The works promote Blaek as a teleport gate for a symbolic escape route from social frustration.
