Highway: The Reflection

[Objective]

Show how painting can explore the abstraction of the concrete drawing and the concretion of abstract drawing.

[Concept]

The idea of the artwork is from my commute between home and school in Taipei. I saw many sensory scenes happening on the highway. I want to record moments and use textures and colors to present my reflection of the commute.
