Fu constructs his scenes through thin veils of oil paint on raw linen and canvas, creating works that read like memories suspended between consciousness and subconsciousness, narration and abstraction. Through soft, yet deliberate mark making, Fu navigates feelings of loss, desire, and memory while evoking a sense of intense longing and personal exploration. Interweaving literary, philosophical, and other cultural references with his own experiences of migration from China to the United States, Fu combines Eastern and Western painting traditions with art historical tropes to reveal unseen passageways in which amorphous figures drift between places seeking connection, solace, and sanctuary. Offering viewers a glimpse into the margins of society, Fu conducts introspective investigations shaped by a queer sensibility, exploring intimacy, desire, and otherness alongside the perpetual unfolding of time. |
