Xiaowei Chen 陈筱薇

	Human curiosities abound for things that are unobvious. I found myself in a constant state
	of searching for meanings of painting. It seems to me, if the subject of a picture reflects
	a thought the techniques that a painter uses reflect an approach. Simple techniques
	executed with simple tools fit my thoughts and habits. The layering of my work is often
	a result of prolonged examination of an idea which gets modified and refined as layers
	are added with familiar tools. My aim is a final result that is immediately pure and complete
	with underlying complexity, whether it is figurative or abstract.

	Xiaowei Chen
