Fun Art
Ar(st Cheng Yi
Originally from Inner Mongolia, Cheng Yi now lives and works in Suzhou, which is oAen dubbed the Venice of China. With rapid urbaniza(on, much of the ancient landscapes in China have since ceased to exist. Whatever that is leA of the canals, stone bridges, pagodas and gardens s(ll feeds the imagina(on of many. Are the taHered walls visual records of days long gone? Or perhaps these walls have no stories to tell, as they are only façades that mask our own indulgence in nostalgia.

“我生活在中国的水乡-苏州, 绘画是我的一种思维方式。 我的画中没有绝对的空,绝对的断灭,有时只是超离一下物象的表面。 而实际又往往存在于其中。” - 成艺
“I live in Suzhou, which is the water village1 of China, and pain(ng is part of my thought process.
There is no absolute emp(ness, no absolute annihila(on in my pain(ngs. At (mes they are a transcendence of imageries of objects,
and at (mes, they are objects in actuality.” - Cheng Yi
