Hello

    As a full-time artist, Dong Su has worked with abstract art for more than 30 years. In the past, he mainly painted figurative subjects such as figures, landscapes, still life and so on. However, since he came into contact with abstraction, he found that this is the artistic expression to be sought in his life, and devoted all his energy and enthusiasm to the research and creation of abstract art. In more than 20 years, Dong Su has painted more than 8000 abstract works in different medium, including acrylic, oil painting, watercolor, metal and comprehensive material

​

     In Dong Su's artworks, he tries to explore the self reflection of life and experience, and the observation and understanding of the world to express the visual image. His focus is usually on the constituent element of symbolism to convey the original emotion and intuition. The reason why he chose to use abstract elements for artistic creation is that he got rid of the shackles brought by concrete painting in abstract modeling, could more accurately express his personal thoughts, and could fully knead rationality and sensibility.

    He believes that abstract art actually peels off the appearance of familiar things, shapes and depicts the feelings of things at the painter's personal consciousness level, and can more convey the painter's personal spiritual world. Therefore, there is usually no specific meaning in his paintings. When he is creating art, he only considers the things related to vision, such as color, shape, texture, etc., and never deliberately adds anything other than vision. The emotions in his works are brought in naturally and never deliberately, He tried to make himself graffiti like a child who can't draw. He said that although it was difficult, it would bring unexpected results. In the final analysis, his works are more direct self-expression and communication with the world.

    In his artworks, he likes to try various media and themes. It often starts with no specific subject matter about what you want to do. Most of the time, this idea is based on reality, such as architecture, nature, and even inspired by a part of his work.  Sometimes he scrapes or covers new paint on the basis of previous works, rather than simply starting over on a new canvas until the desired painting appears on the canvas. The act of scraping and adding new paint layers sometimes takes his idea to a new direction, constantly building new compositions and colors on the original picture. This process is sometimes easy and sometimes difficult, resulting in a picture different from his original intention. This process itself also represents the thinking process of the artist, reveals the past and present of the work, and finally constitutes the final work.
    When he was creating abstract art works, he felt the spiritual freedom and spiritual sublimation, immersed in the beauty of abstract art, but also felt the pain of the artist before breaking through himself, constantly exploring and interpreting the mysteries of art, and constantly improving. I'm often fascinated by nature, he said.

A real artist should have the spirit of experiment and exploration. In the process of creation, Dong Su always intentionally or unintentionally denies what he has painted before, will not succumb to the aesthetic requirements of the audience and collectors, always explores and looks for newer and more unique ways of expression, and constantly explores the essence of things and the origin of art. He believes that the real contemporary art should turn objects into forms and symbols to express the spiritual world.

     Dong Su believes that there is no need for the audience to interpret his works too much, and he is unwilling to explain his works too much. What you see is what you want to see. Everyone has different experience, interest, cultural background and aesthetics, and has different feelings about the works. It is enough for the audience to see what they are excited about from his works, which is exactly what the artist wants.
