༈ӻΐٙՉ˼ЪۜdϤஈ˼˸ The artist describes Night Car as “simultaneous familiarity and
ྡމЧٙɚЪۜdνΝ mystery,” the inspiration for which comes from his experience of
ቤאᆀϜٙᕐࠠࠪ੶ʷəЪۜٙ driving on an unfamiliar road at night. In the middle of a narrow
ੵɢdਗ਼ᝈ੭ɝɓࡈྐྵ᎑ٙ˰ road, under a dark, mystical sky, a car that is reminiscent of
ޢdᑊࠪҗֽଉցၾᓉ؍і a wood-block toy is slowly driving into the valley, implying his
ϗdഗɛ˸ᕐࠠٙτ֛ชfӛԓ reflections on human existence–every person looks to the
future, yet that is where the unknown awaits. Distinctive from
Σ̬մҳ࢛ٙΈҼڥՉהՑʘ the other works in the series, the two compositionally identical
ஈdذಏݑٙይᆠΈᇞdԴ pictures enhance the tension of the work like a musical double-
ࠦ߅Ҧชɤԑٙዐߎeၯၠe stop, taking the viewer into a quiet world of doubled assurance.
ഓeರᔝʝຠᅜ݈ᛖdίԓ The cars project outwards light beams that illuminate wherever
ዱɨʔᓙ̈ତɦᐛऊ̰f৷ᘔ they reach, and the warmth of which are rendered using
ٙ˜˫ၾ৷ᑍӄዓܔ̈ग़।٤ crayons. Vibrant colours of orange, green, lilac, and blue collide
ᖄٙρ֞ၾ͊ٝჯਹdνᜫᝈ with each other, appearing and disappearing under the vehicles’
٫ආɝˌ൴ତྼٙყဎݴd headlights. The mystery and vastness of the universe as an
ᓖ୭ࣛගҼጣdชա͛նٙӊ unknown territory are created through the crescent moon
ɓᐛf that overhangs and the towering cedars. Leading the viewer
into a psychedelic and surreal drift among the stars, the work
encourages them to break away from the bound of time and to
ᖵஔՉʈЪ܃ feel each moment in life.
