Re-De Construction
by Gallery Artside
Location: Gallery Artside
Artist(s): KANG Yongfeng
Date: 17 Sep - 16 Oct 2011

The concept of deconstruction refers to the thorough issue on man’s understanding itself. Jacques Derrida(1930-2004)) used the concept of deconstruction to keep our judgment based on the way of thought. It is true that the concept not only has its philosophic meanings but also is applied in our daily thought and behavior. We judge the subject and situation with our awareness based on self-denial and doubt on the others. If the first impression on the thick painting on canvas by Kang Yongfeng is the deconstruction and reconstruction, it is no need to blow up.

Crash and Understanding

We start to explore the differences between the subject and myself when we want to know him. In a word we confirm the differences between the subject and me. However we have to point out the standard of differences. Under the condition if there is different, there shall be the sameness, there may be contradict that understanding myself and the subjects in advance.

It is a kind of judgment based on data analysis and rational experience. Kang Yongfeng may thoroughly deny such judgment base. His painting shows the wide horizon of understanding on the subject more timely and directly. His work doesn’t need any data analysis. It proposes strong crash with subject compared to understanding through differences.

It isn’t the judgment based on reason and knowledge, but means the judgment from feelings and experiences. What Kang Yongfeng wants to paint is the world that we used our all feeling to get the timely feelings. The painter paints the characteristics of the original subject via his feelings. His subjects are changed into colors on his canvas, deconstructing his ideas. It can be said to be the process that keeping the painter’s judgment and opening the possibility of judgment.

Deconstruction of Color and Texture

Crashed car and exploding plane are the panter’s feeling report on improperness of modern society. The painter paints the plum blossom that means the emotional treatment. His period worry and subjects move onto his canvas with thick and strong color, and feeling point enlarges to the higher field.

First of all, we are overwhelmed by his realistic feeling on the subjects expressed by thick colors. It is the thorough success on contemporary texture screen. Such texture takes the role of mixing all kinds of human feelings. The color on canvas by the painter is the cluster of feelings through painter’s sixth sense and also the painter’s message to the time.

The elements of deconstruction idea elements reform by color and brush touch, it is deconstruction in the thinking method, recovering the subject through realistic texture. Such recovery is the new and realistic painting technique unique for Kang Yongfeng. It is the point that the distance between idea reappearance and abstract reappearance, the distance between the painter and appreciators become narrower.

Reconstruction - ability

Kang Yongfeng expresses the new possibility of thought named deconstructive reconstruction through painting recovery. It lays emphasis on the seriousness on flexibility and judgment of though, and makes the width of possibility that may explore the outside and inner truth. It is a turning point that based on judgment from the sixth feelings of crash.

The color of the painter itself forms a texture. In other world, the color is the thing. The color exists really, but it has the abstract characteristics. It may be said to be a kind of conceptual actual being. Such materialized color is the screen by Kang Yongfeng. As a cluster of feelings, his color blocks are mixed together replace the previous conceptual subject, and replace the feelings and emotions of the painter. It can be said to be the original energy of the painter. When they are mixed on the canvas, painter’s understating on the subjects and his emotions are melted together and forms and recovers to be the unique emotional cluster.

The other detail of the thing by Kang Yongfeng is the human love on things. The painter looks at the things objectively and also subjectively with man’s feelings. He may request man’s self-examination on the non-human behavior through deconstructed and crashed objects (car or plane symbolizing civilization of this time). The painter’s texture tells the recovery of human nature fundamentally through subject, and carries a certain sublimity and beauty.
