Song Yuanyuan, Las Vegas, Public Area

Song Yuanyuan’s paintings employ an unruly style to depict dull scenes heavy with ambiguity. His work is crowded full of ornamentation, blocked sight lines, displaced spaces, trivial brushstrokes, redundant pigments, and cumbersome borders. These paintings’ dense visual fields allow viewers to extract themselves from unified experience and enter into a more physical perception of visual existence.
