  Statement
  Wu Jun’s infinite ‘n’ is a manifestation that he possesses boundless energy. His passion for what is old and new is expressed in his choice of materials on the canvas. He blends Chinese ink together with acrylic, forming a unique texture resulting in a contemporary abstract painting. In his paintings he uses minimal yet sometimes exuberant colours,. The colours demonstrate his moods. The colourful abstract paintings celebrate the mysterious world which has yet to be discovered. If the viewer looks carefully, a glimpse of human heads without faces is depicted. These figures are his observation of people today trapped in a complex world losing their identity and consequently their faces. The constant use of ‘n’ in all forms and sizes distributes meditative details, a mantra, for his quest for peace and self-search in this elusive world.
