Students at BCIS Express Themselves Through Art

Untitled (oil on canvas)
This artwork depicts our friend group sitting in a restaurant, which aims to express our love and appreciation towards our friendship and the years that we have spent together. Through this artwork, we used both realism and impressionism through the contrast of level of details between the subject, the people, and the background. This allows us to make the faces of our friends more outstanding, thus attracting the audience attention to the main topic of this artwork. This will also add layers on the artwork as the abundant use of colors and lower level of realism on the background compares to the realistically depicted faces, providing the viewer with a more lingering charm. When the audience views this artwork, we want them to feel a sense of warmth and friendliness.
Unconscious Boundaries (Acrylic on Canvas, 23 x 39 inches)
Everything is in constant movement and this rings true in the boundaries between dream and reality. Slashed upon the canvas, the chaotic bright streaks of yellow and red break out of the confines of recognizable shapes and outlines to represent the simultaneously existent and invisible line that defines dream and reality.
Monster (Clay, wire, wood, 50cm x 35cm x 25cm)
This work is an inventive narrative piece depicting an original character. The sculpture’s bust and size, position, and stature reflect the stoicism of the character while there are also whimsical circles, dots and flowers incorporated throughout. This work employs both additive and subtractive methods and the movement in the hair along with the decorative elements create interest through the entire form.
Fading Palace (oil painting, acrylic, watercolor, spray lacquer, 40cm x 80cm)
Due to the development of modern society and the globalization of different cultures from different countries, the Forbidden City is a very symbolic feature of Chinese culture. I drew it using a contemporary style – abstract expressionism. Splashy strokes created by spray lacquer create a bursting feeling for the erupting sense of national confidence. This painting expresses my passion for conveying Chinese culture and increasing the cultural confidence of the Chinese. There are abstract and expressive expressions in this painting, but also some very detailed strokes which created the shiny golden roof of the Forbidden City.
Serenade of a Nightingale (Oil paint on canvas and digital editing, 50cm x 40cm)
Music has a way of bringing back memories and imagery. The violin has a significant effect on me, sounding like a singing bird. The nocturnal and mystical nightingale in this work is placed to the ear of a tree to symbolize melody and beauty. “To dream of these birds is often symbolic of joy and hope.” the ear on a tree is shown to represent the awakening of nature. Bright colors are used to emphasize the wild vitality of spring and the nightingale’s song awakening something inside of me.
