I am the most familiar with indifferent-looking metropolitan people. I don’t want to paint them individually, however. I don’t want to describe the traces of time on their faces, or their facial expressions influenced by previous experiences. I just want to describe modern people in general, showing every possible feeling and thought of mankind on one single face. What kind of a face will that be? I ruminate over the question; finally, the Head series was born. It turns out to be a single human face with raw skin and a vague look. All complicated, intermingled human emotions are presented indistinctively through layers of paint. I hope to evoke viewers’ own memories and perceptions of life as modern beings. No stories or dialogues are needed here to reveal one’s past, however. It is manifested right through a single human face. (Chen Shui-tsai)
