Zhouzhou Zhou, In The Mood For Love 2

Wang Xiao Rong likes adventures which is something that pushes her to experiment a lot. Her work is composed by a multitude of materials and mediums. She will create with objects in her paintings such as leaves and papers, in addition to ink, oil pigment and the Chinese painting technique according to her requirements. Thereafter, Wang will often use those materials to create some forms of collages. Each material and colour has an emotional characteristic.

“From a macroscopic perspective, my works examine states of life existence and mourn about how life is short and time vanishes”.

Time Series 4 is an abstract mixed media piece. The painting looks like a mixture of dripping technique and collage. The artwork holds a creamy background and uneven black lines. The composition looks like lost fragments of a puzzle connected together to create its own free-form, leaving slight spaces between them.

This painting is a mixed media piece. The dominance of the yellow and the horizontal lines create an optical illusion in which the painting looks like a 3D piece. The white rectangular shapes in the middle, form a tower coming out of the painting. The yellow shape above displays a sort of empty space,  or hole in a surface. When we think about a state of life, we could imagine a pile of papers on a desk, and the emptiness this every day life, routine represents.
