Artwork Appreciation
PAN Meng-Yao studied print art in Spain and his works have integrated Eastern ink painting brush strokes within the vocabulary of print art, generating artworks that feature bold strokes and alternative aesthetics.
Sway Space Series-2 employed a plastic base material as it was easier to cut and assemble. White border lines were first produced. Depressions and marks were then created upon the plate to dissect the entire space before painting individual blocks with red and green tones. For the techniques applied, PAN Meng-Yao integrated ink painting with print art, generously employing linear textures and shade effects exclusive to ink painting within rhythmic graffiti-like strokes to enhance the malleability and add interest features of the resulting artwork. The overall artwork showcases the artist’s unique perspectives on physical aesthetics as well as his innovative spirit.
