Xue Song lives and works in Shanghai. In his paintings he frequently uses scorched scraps of paper, newspaper and photos and forms a collage. In the early 1990s after a fire destroyed almost everything in his studio, he began to process the leftovers in his works, and combining the fragments with historical content or, as here, with Chinese characters.

薛鬆 《盛裝》 綜合媒材 畫布
款識:Xue Song 1993

薛鬆(1965年生)作者運用多媒材的特性,肢解繪畫技藝,在準備材料、製作施工的過程中,表達出與純繪畫的距離到視覺的終點便是圖像的意義價值。

薛松是一位頗具個人特色的藝術家,在1990年年底一次偶然的火災後,薛松從廢墟中尋找到了屬於自己的藝術語言和創作方法。他借鑒了西方利用現成物進行拼貼創作的概念,跳出了素材的限制,以燒制的方式來解構傳統文化,以拼貼重置了流行的元素,使用文化符碼來表現多層次的創作內涵。
