CarouselCarousel 20x20cm Che Yihaos works are perpetually shrouded in a serene and melancholic ambiance. Through the subtle rendering of blurred light and hues, he endues ordinary scenes with the weight of time and the fading of warmth. He excels at infusing figurative scenes with surreal emotions and symbolic meaning, unfolding unspoken narratives in his creation.

even in the dark

The white floating dots around them resemble falling snow or drifting petals

entwine in quiet perpetual motion

two owl-like beings sit in gentle stillness

and self-expression drowns out expectation

The lotus (莲华) is a profound symbol of purity arising from the mud

and beneath them

The egret’s crown feathers glow like a halo

material and meaning

evoking a sense of connection and communication from a bygone era
