A Fish's Dream

作品賞析

SU Yu-Ting's A Fish's Dream depicts how the tiny goldfish in a small fish tank dreams big. The dream that emerges from its head slowly rises through the long-framed composition, and the dynamic sense is spontaneous. The technique of dot-stroke brushstrokes creates a dreamlike haze. In this dark dream space, there is a vast tropical coral reef ocean with turtles and other large fish. Regardless of how the dream of the goldfish occupies most of the work, its tank is small and empty. Also, a cat is sitting beside the fish tank, waiting to devour it. The contrast between reality and the goldfish's dream provides the work a dramatic humorous effect.
