RIPPLING: Wang Hua

18 October - 18 November 2020
Inspired by the traditional line drawing of water in Chinese paintings, the "Rebellious Flow" series is a three-dimensional "sketch" of natural water flow and "reproduction" of Chinese traditonal line drawing. WANG Hua described it in this way.
 
The creator broke through the limitation of materials, and designed these rippling square ceramic plates into not only a single existing porcelain plate, but also a stretch of rippling water freely extended and joined on the basis of space volum, through repeated adjustion of the shapes and colors.
 
"Rippling" is Hua's series in summer 2020. In addition to the "Rebellious Flow", recent series such as "Electric Light", "Firelight", and "Neon" were on display. The combination of nature and artificiality is what the new series want to emphasize. That the artificiality projected on water, a natural material, is a poetic interpretation of electricity and light. After all, none of us can clearly explain water, a mysterious and elusive substance.
