Paul Cheng - Echoes in the Night

この絵を描く際、特定の場所を描こうとしたのではなく、都市、記憶、夜の情感の重なりを捉えようとしました。灯りや建物、人混みの断片が心に浮かび、すぐに消え去っていきました。私は画面を秩序と混沌の間で揺らぎを保つ構図に保ち、色のリズムの中に自分自身の物語や記憶を viewers が見出せることを願いました。私は厚塗りと擦り取りの組み合わせで制作し、絵具が強い質感と層状の表面を築くようにしました。暖色系を中心に、視覚的な緊張感と動きを生むためにクールなアクセントを配しています。筆致は直接的で自発的なままで、過度に洗練させず、絵が即時性と感情的な真実性を保つようにしています。
