Artist Chai Yiming’s works are always full of “accidents”. For example, the absurd and unconnected figurative combinations within the picture will bring the viewer a sense of surprise beyond the picture. It brings the viewer a feeling of travelling beyond the picture. His paintings seem to create an opportunity. Gathering these unbelievable elements – he often intentionally ignores social symbols and other corresponding clues – rather than using an easily recognisable narrative technique. The result of this is. The line between abstraction and ornate narrative devices becomes very blurred.
