climax! Mu Pan’s large-scale battle scene is filled with humor and introspection

…My work is personal There is the only one [who] Need to know them It’s me. ”

He is equally comparable to the process when the audience tends to misunderstand his political nature or misunderstandings in work in general: “I don’t mind that my work is personal and the only person who needs to understand them is myself. It doesn’t matter to me to those who have misunderstandings about my work.

In the Young Pot, he insists that many of his works retell the stories in his own voice. After moving to the United States, he obtained his BFA (Illustration, 2001) and MFA (illustrated as Visual Essay, 2007) on the SVA in New York City. But after his school year, he faces an existential crisis. Looking back, Pan said he found himself “working to be a painter.” After two years of trying to do abstraction, he now calls it a disaster. “I was frustrated and I realized I really didn’t like painting at all,” he gave up on art for the time being.

At that time, Pan slowly returned to the reasons why he tended to make art a youth in the 1980s. “I found myself totally indulgent in it. I got the feeling of wanting to work. I finally felt completely happy in creating something nonstop again, just like how I used to draw when I was a kid with ballpoint pen. From that moment, I got rid of all my oil painting supplies. I was never a painter to begin with. I love drawing manga, I love telling stories, and I love looking at ukiyo-e and other Asian traditional narrative images. I should just do the things where my password really is.”

Now, Pan is on display all over the world. He recently performed in Denmark, Paris, New England and Los Angeles. He said the responses vary depending on the country and audience, and whether they carry humor, politics or a general desire for fighting. Most of his collectors are in Europe, he said. (“I started with the Hey Magazine show in Paris and then people started following me.) In addition to attending some art fairs with galleries in Miami and New York City every year, there are some separate shows in Los Angeles and Brooklyn, his American audience “actually a few people like creativity and ukio-eyo-eyo-e-eyy-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey

But when Pan reveals his relationship with his motherland, it becomes the most complicated. Despite being born in Taiwan, his family history gave him the desire to be accepted by the Chinese and recognized as one of them. He sought mainland China as a place to call for his job. But he wasn’t embraced as he longed for as China, likening the feeling to “a bastard kid longs for his real mother. Ironically, the place where I encountered a conflict with culture was actually my original culture.”

He said that in Taiwan, his work is just unpopular. “Many themes of my images are attacking independent parties and groups, and they are personal. In addition, I always praise the Chinese Communist Party and Chinese nationalism at work. I also do this on social media platforms in a high tone at my work. They are more intense.”
