I picked a chinese artist Yun-Fei Ji for this week's journal. The reason why I picked an asian artist is I wanted to compare Ji's drawings to Western or European drawings. Ji's drawings have a feel that is defferent from both Western and European pieces of and is similar to many other Asian countries.Ji uses rice paper with translucent ink or paint based on natural pigment. Most of his drawings are the expressions of the failure of the communist utopia in China. The first drawing fascinated me because I didn't know it was an animal looking human who is riding a horse when I first was looking at it. Exploring new types of art which I have ever experienced was awesome. I think his drawings are various, and, in most of his drawings, I can feel different kinds of emotional stages.
