[Illustration] Gallery of the PRC artist: iiiis
Sunday, November 8th, 2009
iiiis is a talented male artist in the PRC who is involved in music production as well as art illustrations. He is known for his soft, ethereal and graceful artstyle and has won many awards. Like another contemporary artist Eno, he follows the technical concept of 計白當黑 (ji bai dang hei) in traditional Chinese paintings. The idea is to leave blanks in a painting, and yet the blanks do not mean that the painting is incomplete. On the contrary, the blanks are part of the completed painting. In this way, not only the material world of touchable things is depicted, but also the immaterial world of void.
