碎点紫藤 2019

Wang Xinfu made this painting, 碎点紫藤, with a whole lotta delicious-looking paint! I can just imagine Wang, getting lost in the swirl of these colors. They are dabbed and swirled so thickly that they become almost three-dimensional, like some kind of candied floral confection. The purples and greens are fighting for space on the canvas, pushing and pulling against each other. You can feel the artist's hand in every stroke! It makes me wonder, was Wang thinking about Van Gogh when he made this? Or maybe he was just really, really into wisteria! Whatever the case, you get the sense he was fully immersed in the act of painting. It is like he transformed the canvas into a garden, buzzing with energy and life. That single orange squiggle cutting through the painting tells me everything I need to know. Painting, you know, it is a conversation, right? It is like Wang is adding his voice to a long, ongoing discussion about color, texture, and the beauty of the natural world.
