漫No.1, 2021

Description

漫 Series The 漫 Series explores the emergence of form, perception, and consciousness within a state of continuous flux. Rather than beginning with predetermined images or narratives, the works gradually take shape through the interaction of colour, line, texture, and intuition. Forms continuously gather, extend, overlap, and dissolve across the canvas, moving between abstraction and recognisability to create a visual experience that feels both unfamiliar and strangely familiar. “漫” suggests an open state of diffusion, expansion, and wandering, while also implying the temporary dissolution of boundaries. Each work in the series retains the possibility of continuous becoming, resisting reduction to a single object, story, or interpretation. The forms appear to exist within a constantly shifting stream of consciousness, maintaining a tension between emergence and disappearance. For Wu Ke, painting is not the representation of a predetermined image, but a process through which the unpredictable is gradually allowed to emerge. Through an intuitive approach to painting, she transforms the canvas into an open field of perception. The viewer’s memories, emotions, and lived experiences enter the work through the act of looking, allowing each encounter to generate different possibilities of meaning. The 漫 Series therefore does not seek to tell viewers what they should see. Instead, it invites them into a continuously shifting visual space where they may discover forms, sensations, and experiences of their own.
