To continue questioning about the meaning of creation, is to question about the function of paints, the nature of art. By time goes I gradually realized that, most meanings are endowed by people; for example, we believe that art will change the world, because we need art continue generating for certain reason, we want to look for the ultimate essence of art, to provide motivation for working on art But art can be meaningless, thus meaningless can also be meaning of art.
Therefore, the main axis of Tao’s works is to delete the meaning. For example, the sleep, which is the most static state of human being except for the death, is presenting human being as it is; the painted texture of paper on paper is returning to the material nature of paper. During the long process of painting, this Sisyphus-way is constantly questioning the meaning of the existence of art work.
Perhaps , the only meaning painting needs is meaningless.
