(2017)

Imagining the forms of time with the paintbrush, CALENDAR is experimental and allegorical.12 colors represent 12-months，one day one layer. In this way, testing the effect of different colors with different thicknesses，and then more easy to know the transmittancy of each color.

With the back-lit canvas, each of the paintings is a record of time through the layers of paint. On one hand, the calendars are the artist's palette in testing the transmittance of different shades of the oil paint; on the other hand, they are a display of how much time to spent on the work.

The box, representing a “calendar day”, might require more than one nights to be filled up, depending on the drying rate of particular color or paint. As a result, the last box of the month, once filled, also marked the finish of the entire year.
