Xuan Wu

I went to Gods own junkyard, which is a neon light house. My focus is on the pattern of the light board. The change of light and shadow is ingeniously blended with the reflection of the mirror. I paint the patterns of flowers, lips, and hearts repeatedly, changing the size and direction, and mixing colors. Surrounded by this neon space, I feel the sense of technology, modernity and full of stories. Most of the tubes are presented in the form of lines and spheres. So I fully tried the variety of lines and circles. In the fourth painting, I used a marker to show the front and back of the line and the relationship between light and dark. The last painting is to combine a pattern repeatedly to form a new pattern. This is an effective attempt. Each individual pattern is wrapped around each other and blended together. It is very necessary to find a direction of choice in painting and design, and then add repeated experimentation and thinking.

My inspiration came from a trip in East London. I went to flower markets, farms, and streets and took a lot of photos. I carefully observe the photo by zooming in and rotating. Discovered different color combinations and surprising textures. Before painting, I was thinking about what I want to paint and what points I want to focus on. I choose colors, textures and patterns as my focus. I used watercolor, oil pastel and acrylic. The color changes of watercolor are used to express the color of the bouquet, and the oil pastel is used to express the details of the petals. My favorite is the third painting. First draw the outline of the hydrangea in purple and green. Then use blue and yellow to paint details. I think the colors of nature are the most exciting. Merchants match different varieties of flowers together to produce many magical combinations.
