Yueh-mei Cheng

Visual Chess

Paintings are the visual manifestations of the artist’s life experience and ideas. In order to create a living space on two-dimensional surface, one has to break up habitual thinking and boundary of concept. Concept forms idea of the world and restricts the world as well. Painting transcends the paradigm of time and space, and reveals the subtle reality in the illusory world. Stimulated by a certain sensational conditions such as music, dancing, meditation, yoga, etc, freely splashing colors, leaving marks both random and insightful, an unfamiliar and mystical
environment is being generated as paragon (working site) for artist to create. It is waiting for response that illuminates.
Echoing between colors and feelings, and interacting between the figurative and pictographic images, the painting is forming and expanding. It is the evolving stage that is consistently inconsistent. In this entirely new visual environment, the painter is forced to perceive directly and cut off old habit to let the visual intelligence do its work. In the state of absorption, the painter’s imagination and free association extend towards a focal point of infinity. It is inconsistently consistent: the idea and the concrete irrationality are blending. The combination of very elaborate painting styles and abstract background is an attempt to show how nature is perceived by other sentient beings like birds. I imagine birds reflect our environment more directly and less conceptually. It makes them more open to perceive living conditions and more flexible and adaptive to the natural environment.
Like birds, sometimes the artist is squeezed by her own imaginations. In the end game, artist is in
a bitter struggle for survival. Sometimes in a flash of epiphany, a new space is revealed. The joy of space is the poetic feeling that echoes the inner quality of creation. Birds can understand it, so does the artist. In this case, painting becomes a vehicle of seeing.
