Exhibition Overview
For artist Lei Rui Fen, photography and painting are like two sides of the same coin—intimately connected yet presented in different forms. Photography expresses his understanding and documentation of the objective world, while painting reflects his inner spatial imagination. This 'space' is presented in a three-dimensional manner as much as possible; even if there are hidden aspects, it undeniably exists. Furthermore, it contains a rhythm akin to music. Through this series of works, he hopes to complete a journey of exploration into space.
