colour of Night

作品賞析

DONG Hao-Yun's forte is building virtual scenes with geometric shapes and using a contrasting dark/light color palette, bringing the abstract and the concrete elements into conversation on the canvass is search of more possibilities for artistic expression. The atmosphere in Color of Night is quiet and calm, while geometric sections made with vertical and horizontal lines divide the painting. The entire canvass is dark and cold but light streams in from the left side. Against the interplay between a dark and light color palette, a subtle back-and-forth motion is created that gives the painting a spatially fresh appearance. DONG Hao-Yun uses the organization of space to cleverly combine two spatially different scenes together to create an artistic conception of unreality, letting the play of light and shadow on the divided canvass show the richly layered oil paint as well as the individual artist's style.
