Study IX - Veil

Veil -- Painting on Porcelain II, Yafei Li, ca.2017

The word "veil" reminds me the word "curtain" we talked about before. When we looked at Ni Tzan's Six Gentlemen, I asked Tony -- do you think those trees want to leave the island and go to another place? This is curtain, this is veil. Behind the curtain, everything is practical, but with the veil, they become mysterious.

Early this week, Tony shared a japanese artist Takashi Murakami with me. I start to understand Tony's words "study", "copy", "version", "pastiche". I want to make something "very very different", something creative, but I have to study first.
