Porcelain, pottery, slab building, 1310℃, 60 x 10 x 120cm.
This work brings together, within a single composition, the image of clouds full of vitality and movement and the image of valleys, streams, and rivers that split apart, intertwine, and flow. Zheng Chenyang renders these natural forms in a painterly way, creating within the work a dialogue between different dimensions.
First, each part of the work forms a sensory contrast through its own formal language, color, and texture. At the same time, in the process of making the work, his control and the chance effects produced by the material collide with each other. He regards the tension created where these two elements meet as an important part of the work. Through this process, the piece goes beyond a simple representation of nature to reveal a vivid, spiritual landscape formed between the individual and nature.
In this way, different materials and methods of production create contrast within a single work while still coming together in harmony. Through this, he captures, within one landscape, the flow and vitality of nature together with the relationship between control and chance that arises in the process of making.
