Xiaoyu Kang – Looking Outwards – 06

This projected is first presented at the exhibition at the Louchard Gallery in December, 2017. It consist of a series of small to medium sized drawings that are in relations to chaos and order. They all focuses on the idea of “directed randomness”. The drawings are all done on rice paper and watercolor. Gold refers are also used in reference to traditonal Inian art as a sacred art elements.

The project is started first by applying watercolor pigments randomly to the canvas. After the application, the author alters the rythem of the watercolor with an iron as a drawing tool. So as a result, the final drawing is presented with a combination of conscious and unbconscious act, which in the end creates a new form of order. The pigment application process is uncontrolled but the water drying process is controlled.
