The new art creation is called “plant man”. “Plant man” is a potted plant. It differs from classical literati painting which has flower and bird in the composition. A so-called classical literati painting is to use flower and bird to express the painter emotion. Here Kuan-Ti communicates his emotion through “plant man”, a potted plant instead of flower and bird. After Kuan-Ti humanized a potted plant, the plant is never a plant but a man. A man can move his body and use gestures to directly show the feeling and desire in front of observers. Since “plant man” is a man, it is a pleasure to see a man growing up and moving around. In this hustle and bustle daily life, more people turn to have potted plants or keep pets to comfort the feelings or even talk to them. “plant man” can be treated as a plant or a pet.
In Kuan-Ti’s creation, “plant man” can be a man keeping a potted plant to see how the plant grows up and moves around. A man can enjoy the moment looking at the painting to relax himself. Furthermore, in his creation, “plant man” can also be the observer himself. The observer, a modern man, squeezes himself in such a busy society but still try to stretch out the body to earn a living. Or “plant man” can be the painter, a contemporary painter, compresses himself in such a small studio but still excites the inspiration to get perfect art creation done. That is what Kuan-ti wants to express in his “plant man”.
