Constructive Ambiguity 2018-2019

Digital painting series

Constructive Ambiguity is originally a diplomatic term employed by Chen Zhou as an approach to art making, more precisely, logically constructing scenes that are semantically ambiguous, with a relevant yet unfamiliar feeling, which Zhou believes to be the reflection of what lies between order and chaos of the world we live in.

This painting series adopts SketchUp, an architectural software as a paintbrush to collage and produce the paintings as if constructing film sets, which portrays and reflects the contemporary world from Chen Zhou’s perspective.
