From exhibition catalog… The Bingo series are consisted of paintings in which the self-conscious elements have been omitted. I have tried to ignore all the factors that somehow were tiding my paintings, except the audience themselves.
In these paintings, the viewer and I stand in the positions of a two-player game.
If the viewer is looking for a certain meaning, I win.
If I am looking for an unrevealed meaning, the viewer is the wins
The third alternative is an interactive intention to confront the painting as discovering a chance, a moment.
From the second situation on, I realize it as a connection apart from the game and even away from my own work, a simple situation that offers the possibility of interaction between me as a viewer and the viewer and I.
In this process, the chance is the “Life” itself.
