Happy 2019
is about Reversed Looking
about looking back on what I recently did:
1. recalling Duchamp and Zen
a thesis I did 29 years ago
to pay hommage on Duchamp‘s famous statement- Using Rembrandt as an ironing board
2. using pure pigments from Zecchi of Florence
in Hong Kong on Magnani paper
in order to remember the old days:
how I used to shop almost everyday at the Fine Arts shop Zecchi in order to paint
how I bought Magnani paper every Tuesday before going to print at Manfredi’s lessons
3. to watch Life Theatre like a lonely soul
from far away
of the lonely buffalo in Mui Wo
a place that I never quite frequented when I was young, ( hence the idea of solitude)
and where I paint once in a while
or more often now
with a reversed vision
much inspired by David Hockney
in order to recall those lonely days
in Edinburgh
when I was a student at Edinburgh College of Art , full of enthusiasm -whenever I found Hockney’s new works at a book store
with this reversed looking back
my vision seems to be more focused
my spirits high
no wonder
Old memories bring New Hope
Happy New Year
Happy 2019
and do not forget
to reverse our vision
in order to find the inner vision- Insightful vision
