Variations is a mixed-media series that investigates the dynamic behavior of color and material through layered, process-driven abstraction. Each work is constructed through successive applications of scraping, blending, and partial erasure, creating a stratified surface in which pigments interact, overlap, and shift in visual emphasis. Rather than pursuing a predetermined composition, the artist relies on an intuitive methodology that allows the materials to assert their own logic and direction. The resulting works evoke transitional states—suggesting atmospheric change, geological formation, or emotional resonance—without depicting specific imagery. Color, texture, and opacity function as temporal markers, recording the accumulation and revision inherent in...

In this series of mixed-media works, I’m not aiming to freeze an image. I’m drawn instead to a state that feels ongoing—colors, textures, and forces constantly intertwining, colliding, covering, and rewriting one another. The canvas becomes less a picture and more a live site of continuous activity. Color, for me, is a conversation rather than a harmony. I like to let warm and cool tones clash and spark, to let them open up space through tension. Sometimes they resemble mineral veins pulled from deep underground; other times they rise with the molten energy of lava. These forces echo both the...

I recently completed a large oil painting, Golden Tranquility (50x60 inches), inspired by the memory of autumn scenery. The piece took two months to finish and combines techniques of both palette knife and brushwork. Most of the painting was created with a palette knife, layering bold textures, while a brush was used for final touches, adding refinement and contrast. This interplay of tools emphasizes a deeply personal and expressive approach. In this painting, I focused on the deliberate direction of both knife strokes and brushwork, using layered colors to reflect the richness of nature and the passage of time. Each...

Kevin Liang’s oil paintings are celebrated for their extraordinary use of color, which captures the essence of both realism and abstraction. His unique color palette and techniques make his work stand out.
