　　存在主义是对形而上学最重大之反叛，原本，纯正抽象艺术是形而上学的逻辑外衣，但抽象表现在存在主义与形而上学之间求中庸，而极简主义又腻味那人神一体的自以为是，他们寻求更炫酷决绝的姿态，终于在存在定义的无法纯粹中不可避免地堕向怀疑虚无。我坚持存在者的生死纠缠，在纠缠中走向他人眼中的静穆，却这静穆无关表达者之情绪，即无关表现。在经历了康德和海德格尔之后，我曾以为我之心路与有神论存在主义的克尔凯格尔同，只是尚未弄清他的神是否过度关注人情冷暖，我想保有人的温度，但只要不冷也不热。毕竟，艺术并不是物质产品，不是时间切片，而是无始无终之过程中、无穷无尽之物粒间的既偶然又必然的碰聚。艺术过程伴同生命过程，艺术物化呼应生命消长，生命主体最终走向无我无情无悲无喜，在坚信那个不动声色的神的关照之执念下有惊无险地一再轮回。

　　有中求无、无中生有乃至有无错乱的后现代狡计实在是时代焦虑之应对，我生长斯时自然晓得其中玄机，却又天赋反者道动之心机，在抄录完近百遍心经后突然顿悟，遂反念心经：亦生亦灭，亦垢亦净，亦增亦减，是故空中有色，有受想行识，有眼耳鼻舌身意，有色声香味触法，有眼界乃至有意识界，有无明亦有无明尽，乃至有老死亦有老死尽，有苦集灭道，有智亦有得……

　　Artist’s statement：

　　Stillness， this is not about emotions.

　　Existentialism is the gravest rebellion against metaphysics. Originally， pure abstract art is the logical veil of metaphysics but abstract expressions seeks a middle way between existentialism and metaphysics， while minimalism indulges itself in the self-perceived “god and man in one”. These theories seek to battle for dominance but all inevitably lean towards the doubt of the void， in the pure sense of existentialism. I insist on the entanglement between life and death of the existing beings but walk towards the stillness discerned by other people‘s eyes， which is not connected with feelings or emotions. Following Kant and Heidegger， I once thought that my spiritual journey was similar to that of Kierkegaard， who believed in Christian existentialism. Only I was not sure if his god was overly protective of humanity while I was less fervent and more moderate. After all， life is not a material product or a slice of time. Rather， it is a chance or inevitable meeting of infinite matters in an endless process. Art walks hand in hand with life， growing or waning with it； while life as a whole eventually becomes selfless， emotionless， without sorrow or joy. Entrusting itself to the care of the unmoved and unfeeling god， and without perils or danger， life repeats itself over and over again. Something ushers in nothing and vice versa. And postmodern tricks are the solution to the anxiety of the time. Developing， I naturally discern the intrinsic secrets while instinctively opposing trickery. After transcribing the sutra for almost one hundred times， I suddenly found enlightenment and hence started to read it backwards. Life is death； dirty is clean； up is also down. All things therefore are in themselves both good and bad， both increasing and decreasing.

　　Therefore one may say there are such things as form， perception， concepts， thinking process， and consciousness. Our senses such as eye， ear， nose， tongue， body and mind are leading us to illusion； thus one may also say there is reality in visible form， sound， smell， taste， touch and mind knowledge. There are also such things as the realms of sense from sight up to mind， and such things as the links of existence from ignorance and its end to old age and death and their end. Also the Four Noble Truths are existent， just as there are such things as wisdom and also gain.
