Idris Khan
Antonio Lopez-Garcia
My work has also been influenced by these two artists. Khan's work gave me a sense of deja vu. The vagueness of his work makes me feel that my memory is foggy. But the main framework is there. Just like Buckingham Palace, it is a famous building that many people know, but the first impression of his works is the memory fragments of the past decades. Because of this, I also studied copper plate etching.
The Spanish master Antonio, who is one of my favorite artists. His works are like photographic memories. Through his paintbrush, he showed the scenes as he saw them. Of course, I am also influenced by his realistic style. I love detail. I've done super realistic work. In my work this time, I tried his realistic technique to accurately judge the position of the object. So far, of course, the realistic step is basic. Because then I'm going to build on it again.
All three books are about memory.
It's hard to read, but I try to repeat it many times.
When I finished reading it, I really thought the content of the three books was really good.
Made me have a strong interest in the subject of memory.
Then I might study the human brain, for example, the hippocampus.
In the summary of these three books.
In my opinion, memory will be affected by one's own emotions, sometimes it can make people remember more deeply.
Sometimes it's a traumatic memory.
So I think my own memory has been traumatized by some of the events.
It also makes my memory very deep.
For example, my childhood memories were deeply shaken by a woman who hanged herself.
Even now I grow up, I still think of this terrible memory.
Therefore, in my work, I completely release my dark memories.
I drew a big tree.
It seems to be a simple object, but it contains my heavy memory.
This is probably one of my favorite videos.
In general, our memory process is composed of several links, such as memorization, retention, recall, and recognition.
Memorization is the beginning of the process of memory, is to identify things, and form a certain impression of the process; Maintaining is a kind of strengthening process of the memorized content so that it can better become a human experience;
Recall and recognition are two different reproduction forms of the past experience, recall is the repetition of the things that oneself have experienced, recognition of the form of reflection is mainly representation, words, thoughts, emotions, can also be action.
These links in the process of memory are interrelated and mutually restricted. Memorization is the premise of maintaining. Without maintaining, there will be no recall and recognition, and recall and recognition are the indicators of testing the effect of remembering and maintaining.
"It follows that all three elements of memory are necessary.
The basic process of memory can also be simply divided into 'remembering' and 'recalling'. 'Remembering' includes remembering and maintaining, while 'recalling' includes recalling and recognition.
In everyday life, people often mistakenly recall things they have never experienced or recall things that do not match the real situation, which is called false memory in psychology.
Again, I thought my memory was correct and accurate, that my memory belonged to me alone.
It's my own personal wealth and personal museum.
But when I started to investigate the contents of my memory, I found that my memory was indeed biased, so I began to change my work from a realistic state to a vague one.
Maybe it's fair to say that I intentionally blurred my work.
One of the recently discovered artists is Peter Doig.
He uses the images he finds - posters, magazine clippings, album covers, and cinematography - in addition to his own memories, Doig's paintings also blur the distinction between reality and technique.
The landscapes he painted while studying at Chelsea College of Art, for example, stem from his childhood memories of the Canadian wilderness, skiing on steep peaks, or passing through thick pine forests.
The way he works is very interesting to me, because I have similar memories of the wilderness in my childhood.
