In his creations, he continues the previous Chinese artist’s thinking about still life, and maximally dissolves the color, replacing it with a renewed cognition of the object, and an understanding of the shape, volume, and even the essence of the object, using the most simple materials and methods to dig into the most easily overlooked aspects of everyday still life.
