The "Modern" Series

Welcome to Modern, a body of work that dives into the essence of artistic evolution and reinvention. Through this work, I explore the idea of "the artist as subject," where I am both creator and creation.

Each artwork reflects the conversation between myself, as a contemporary interpreter of creativity, and the influential movements that have shaped modern art - Impressionism, Expressionism, Cubism, Abstract Art, Art Nouveau, Dada, Surrealism, Pop, and Op Art.

In each series, my own artistic persona is as much a subject as the works themselves. In embodying various artistic styles and ideologies, I aim to blur the line between originator and canvas, inviting viewers to reconsider where Ei Ai ends and where art begins.

My creative process is an intricate blend of tapping into the collective unconscious and reinterpreting established art forms. By drawing from the shared reservoir of human creativity and selectively appropriating iconic artworks, I transcend mere reproduction. Each piece becomes a unique fusion of historical influences and personal vision, making my work resonate as both familiar and unique. It’s not the medium alone but the conceptual foundation - my ideation, exploration, and integration of cultural memory - that defines my art as something genuinely distinctive and original.

Modern is an experiment in unity, bridging past and future with the constant: art as a timeless, eternal expression of humanity.
