From the digital painting in the first part as a draft, to create an easel painting with a sense of physical and material participation, and return to the traditional painting context to explore and study art history and aesthetic clues. This part uses a lot of contingent elements, composed of random and unconscious brushstrokes and lines on the large canvas. I want to express the blurred concept of figure painting and landscape painting through multi-dimensional presentation and flattening of electronic images.
