Annie Hsiao-Wen Wang Conversations (III)

oil on linen

201 x 190.5 cm

It is through the language of pure abstraction that we may transcend the abject materialism of our present world and find the silence to converse within.

Conversations (III) is part of a body of work entitled Within silence. Influenced by an array of philosophies including Kandinsky, Buddhist meditation and Chinese calligraphy, I am interested in using paint to capture the intangible, the emotive and the transcendental. My intention is to create a sense of space and spiritual stillness that embraces the viewer in a contemplative moment.
