About Work
Tsai Ken presented his “Handprint Series” in his 2015 solo exhibition “Wandering in the Creative Play of Forms and Materials.” He often models hands with readymade in his daily life, but he doesn’t create life-size works. In his “Handprint Series,” some pieces highlight thick palms, whilst others foreground slim and extended fingers.
[Pick the Flower] is a piece in the “Handprint Series.”
The slim fingers extend horizontally with the fingertips gently pinching a lotus pod. Looking like offering a flower, the gesture that extends upward from the fingertips to the lotus pod also guides the viewer’s line of sight.
