‘量子纠缠 012’— 大粒
This series extends visual imagination from the quantum physics concept of quantum entanglement. When each particle is subdivided, all that remains are the vibrating strings of quarks—no matter, not even form, only the pure vibration of energy, with thoughts intertwining and entangling. In a meditative state, the artist attempts to capture the flow of energy—subtle yet powerful, luminous yet dark. The moment the artist’s brush touches the surface, the work spontaneously generates itself; the hand and brush are merely instruments through which it dances.
Dali lives and works in Shenzhen. She received her MA degree from the University of the Arts London in 2015.
Dali’s practice centers on an investigation into the gap and suture between visual imagery, perceptual illusion, and lived experience. Originating in an early engagement with abstraction, her work has evolved through distinct yet interrelated series marked by acts of extraction, fragmentation, retrospection, and reconstruction. These bodies of work operate within a recursive logic, mutually reflecting and reactivating one another. At the core of her practice lies a sustained tension between the inner psyche and the external world, enacted through processes of confrontation, deconstruction, and reconfiguration. For Dali, a condition of ‘Continuous Becoming’ constitutes the most viable resolution within her current artistic inquiry. She understands painting as an open-ended, reflective process of questioning and integration, capable of generating layered and multidimensional meaning. It is akin to the physicist’s attempt to capture the presence of an electron—a fundamental entity whose existence is inferred, measured, and theorized, yet never directly perceived by the naked eye. Thus, painting may not ultimately be concerned with what is depicted, but rather with how one navigates the delicate interplay between the visible and the invisible, presence and absence, imagination and lack. It is within this subtle negotiation that painting approaches a boundary where language and vision seem never to have fully arrived.
