About

Cai Ruei-Heng’s (b. 1989) enigmatic paintings are characterised by the combination of figurative depiction and anxious-like quality. He paints with personal memories from the times with his pet dog, which represents the metaphor of the confusion he feels in life. He also questions the capability for human and dogs to maintain the sense of self, which he continues to search through the similarities between both lives.

Cai Ruei-Heng’s work grapples with facing a force majeure, such as inhaling a burning smell, consciously improper and reacting to nothing. Burning smell is like a ghosting state which winds around and wanders at times — a mode of being which is neither blended nor inseparable from it.
