叶脉雅黄 2015

This untitled painting by 王新福 looks like it was made with oil paint, and a lot of it! The brushstrokes are so thick, they almost become sculptures, each dab and swipe contributing to a dense, textured surface that shimmers under the light. Look how the greens and yellows aren’t just colors, but physical entities, piled on top of each other, fighting for space. There’s an energy here, a kind of controlled chaos where the paint seems to mimic the growth and decay of nature itself. I’m drawn to the lower left corner where the strokes curve and twist like vines reaching upwards. It's as if 王新福 isn't just representing nature but is actively participating in its processes, allowing the paint to grow and evolve organically. It reminds me of some of Joan Mitchell's later works, that same sense of gestural abstraction, where the act of painting becomes a record of movement, feeling, and time. Ultimately, it is the process that is depicted, not something external to it.
