SET SAIL AGAIN exhibition artist | LI MAO
Autumn Colors-2 is one of the series of works of abstract art created over the years, which evolved from the imagery of flowers of my early creation period. I focus more on the experimentation of free expression, explore more possibilities of painting art creation, and find the media and expression that fit with the individual thoughts. The works are mainly in the form of intention and abstraction, expressing the memory of autumn, focusing on the natural form, within a moderate and controllable range, utilizing some uncertainties in the process of creation, and realizing the combination of certainty and uncertainty.
