Artist Statement
‘Invitation for the First Round’ portrayed the chaotic and intense moment between a boxer and an ape, fighting, while breaking the pots of the plant. The artwork tells the idea about the artist’s interest in action movies and an adaptation of a fighting scene into the painting.
Other than its original meaning, fighting can also mean the struggles from the inside, such as depression, weakness, creative block, etc. Grew up watching all these seventies to nineties Hong Kong movies (Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan) or American action movies such as Rocky sequels, these movies have always being the all-time favorites, hence, being the inspiration behind this artwork.
