About the artwork
CSS 104 Jl In this painting Max Kong passes over his own order, nearing himself to the abstract expressionism style in order to depict a realistic image but with his own particular technique and his masterful control over the use of material, in a way that it creates a protective shield of neatly ordered geometry over a sea of motion, rhythm, frequencies and total expression of feelings. He evolves to worlds in two parallel lines that expand and also depict the notion and subject-matter without mixing with each other, conveying a sense of peaceful evolution through time.
