Tang Dayao's recent paintings reflect the surroundings of his past. He selects moments from everyday life, where accidents and conflicts are staged, hiding the undercurrents of emotion within the canvas. This private individual emotion resonates with the collective, as he draws from insignificant moments that are so fragile yet resilient. He witnesses dilemmas, fears, and the unknown, choosing to encapsulate the sharp reality into smooth and playful forms; he wraps these dangers and thorns, while also allowing them to confront as a reality. He actively chooses the neglected and forgotten, which are pertinent to his life and perception, and are repeatedly faced in the days we all experience. Thus, we can see Tang Dayao's paintings overflowing outwards in a rather gentle manner. He neither exploits the inertia of emotion for elaboration nor lets the subject reveal itself alone, but selectively hides his days within the paintings. Here, reality is allowed to happen, but no final answers are provided, leaving only the constant days and the cyclical confrontation.
