Drawing on instinct
Artist taps his raw emotion to produce works of untamed power across a wide range of media, report Li Yingxue and Hu Dongmei in Yinchuan.
An exhibition was held in a gallery in Manhattan, New York, in September 2016. Apart from the United States, Su also took the project to Brazil and Colombia.
Alongside the music, painting has been an important part of his life over the past couple of years. Su says the tools he uses for painting are commonly found on construction sites.
He sometimes uses a shovel to smash the colors onto the canvas, and other times, he uses his body. By making a connection between his body and the canvas, Su finds his unique style of creativity.
Su's paintings are instinctive and very much integrated with his feelings. Like his music, his paintings have an original, untamed power, even though he has no formal training in painting.
Su hosted his first painting exhibition in Haihui Modern Art Museum in Zhengzhou, Henan province, in August 2022, during which he exhibited 50 paintings created from 2020 to 2021.
