Shun-Hsiao’s painting had kept the point that throughout the “abstract” and “physics” is just “the flow of one Qi”, which is also the basic figure vocabulary of metaphysics and physics. I think it is a new possibility of “sub-abstract” art. “Sub-abstract” is neither the returning of figurative realism, nor becoming groundless of nothing. It is a sense of “the flow of one Qi” freely and boundlessly crossing between the “physical” and “abstract”, the physics and non-physics reflecting and embodied by the emptiness. As Zhuang-Zi said” Don’t listen by your ears but your heart instead; don’t listen by your heart but Qi instead. Only Qi contains everything, so let your heart contains everything like what air does, purified your heart so that it would be able to contain everything.”
