Day and Night - Gao Xingjian


Taken from here

The exhibition on Gao Xingjian's works at Singapore Art Museum years ago was one of the best I had seen. I found out later that he was a Nobel laureate for his literature work. I had seen one of the interviews with him by Channel 8 a few years ago and if I did not remember wrong, he said something to the effect of, 'Where words end, painting begins'

The stark solitude of the characters in his paintings echoes deep.
