“I like paintings that leave open space. I like to leave space when
talking to people. I like to meditate and reflect, and not having to
contend with people.”
Wang Pan-youn
His thinking transcends the times, while his unique use of color
and space to convey memories as a faintly discernible mysterious
metaphor, which are cultural connotation deeply embedded in
Eastern cultures. The themes of his paintings are nothing more than
the creative artistic concepts of people, nudes, nature and animals.
Whether painting people, birds, dogs, cows, goats or eagles, they
are all incarnations of himself, constituting an autobiographical
monologue. Wang Pan-youn ‘s character was noble, having known
the warmth of life and also its cold destitution, yet persevered in
his love of painting, cultivating the lofty and proud temperament of
the Chinese literati. Thus, this particular spiritual accomplishment
also reflects on his unique creations in which we see the
composition of the traditional ink and water landscape painting,
and the subtle emotions on his works all quitely and lyrically tells
Wang’s lifelong persistence and philosophy of art. t.
