PSYCHOPOMP

William Monk uses the canvas as a gateway, drawing viewers into a realm of endless journey with no beginning or end. Time freezes on the canvas, with repetitive images set against an ambiguous backdrop. The thin pointillist textures act like a veil, revealing a passage to another world once dispersed. Are we stepping into the artist’s subconscious, or the afterlife guided by Charon, the ferryman of the Greek underworld?

Beyond Darkness

Starting with a painting, Yang Qian continues his experiments with light and color, gradually trying from the plane to the spatial, meticulously constructing a ritualistic theater that exudes a wonderful and sublime aura. In the absence of light, the space is silent, dark, and chaotic; when illuminated by lamps, the plain space is unremarkable; when exposed to ultraviolet light, the colors suddenly brighten, shining brilliantly like a starry sky, with vitality and hope flickering, spreading, and shining above the gloom, calling for a lightness and fulfillment of the soul, as well as peace and joy… In his continuous aesthetic experiments and materials, Yang Qian unleashes the pure charm of the visual to touch the retina and infect the soul.

Behind the Scenes Without Walls

In this creative process, the artist continues to employ the technique of pairing negative woodblocks with color fields. Various symbolic elements are suspended within the gallery space, forming “reliefs” infused with street culture. The exhibition space is akin to the “backstage” of a theatrical performance, where visitors can freely navigate through the installation, experiencing the shifting perspectives and visual angles with their bodies. From the “front,” the pure color block compositions offer an open and expansive view; while from the “back,” viewers can only gaze at the symbolic arrangements from specific, deliberate angles.
