Catalogue Note

“I always draw on the traditional training that I received in my youth, whose expressive and productive mode begins with concentration, an ample and stable breath, to allow the encounter with the organic forces of thought, the hand, paintbrush, colours, canvas, air and time to occur.” Lee Ufan
