(3.73 - 91 votes)Mu on his work:
For me, painting is not about pursuing fame, gaining a reputation and being praised by the art critique. Painting is a personal realm, one in which to hide, to cry out and to escape. When I need to speak up, painting is my tongue; when I need to make a war, it is my spear; when I am tired and need a place to lie down, it is my shelter; and when I have committed a sin as a human, painting is my intimate confession. I choose to employ an illustrative approach to making my pictures. Narrative imagery is still needed in the contemporary world, as mythology is still alive. Mythology will always exist as long as humans continue to make art and tell stories.

I love the fact that this person uses real emotions from life and puts it in a paintings mythology. It is like reality and mythology married each other and clashed.

This artist is fantasic. Rarely do we see traditionally infused contempory asian work that comes off as something greater than shallow consumer glorification. The artist’s integrity is also very honorable and such a breath of freash air in our sell out all you can times. Simply, great. Can’t wait to see more of this artists work.

I really like these.
Intriguing style that reflects oriental culture,
but much more powerful than what I’d usually expect.
go visit his website, there’s tons of great work & studies.
