Signs on Blue

HK: “All your images, not only of birds but also of human figures, are reduced similar patterns of continuous angles and curves. What is the connection?”
HM: “Maybe it’s because the bird’s character, its form and vitality so closely match my temperament. You know, there is always one corner in the artist’s mind, one unchanging core of logic from which he views and deals with his art. Each object in nature, whether a bird, person or tree, contains its own specific, unchanging inner structure In conceiving my art, I am driven by one basic logic namely, preserving this inner structure: its elements can change in scale, position, form and colour, but it keeps repeating itself and never loses its identity.”
