Chi’s work embarks on an excavation to capture the instability of presence between abstraction and reification. The narratives depict an allegorical representation of human existence shaped by memories, dreams, cultures and collective consciousness in this world of artificiality and nature. The forms in painting serve as a mediator between realms of the tangible and intangible, the visible and sensible - a path that lies beyond the plurality of the conditioned world and goes into the realm of limitless.
The teachings and antiquity of Buddhist, Taoist mural remains and other spiritual and cultural significants have informed his aesthetics - the luminous and metaphorical power of these painting projects an ontological reflection into the forms where self-realisation towards enlightenment is possible. In traditional Chinese aesthetics, paintings are recognised as an expression of the painter’s ideal world where the shape of mountains and the flows of water act as a reinterpretation of reality. It’s a utopia, a self-portrait and a microscopic creation parallel to the macroscope of the entire universe.
生活即是一切藝術最初始的根本，而藝術即是生命現象經驗總和後反思而成的結果。我以繪畫創作做為單純日常抒情活動與人生之細瑣呢喃的表現，進行對整體存在體系的思辨過程，若藝術失去了”生活”的體驗，存下的僅剩淺薄的視覺遊戲而已。 我以藝術創作是一種以器物的有形之形，乘載與再現意識情感的無形之形。從中國上古畫家們在所有創作活動中不斷演繹人與天地萬物的形神之間的關係 ，或苦、或樂、或憂、或愁、或愛、或恨、或急躁、或自在，或超然。我願於筆彩的遊戲中演示的”偽性與自然“。
