In Pulse (2025), a luminous tendril of light unfurls against a dark, fleshy ground, evoking both a vascular system and a cosmic root. The painting crystallizes Fu’s interest in life as perpetual metamorphosis, where the material becomes immaterial and back again. Here, the body is abstracted into a vital rhythm, fragile yet forceful, intimate yet cosmic. Fu’s process, which embraces the unpredictability of liquid pigments and mineral powders, leaves space for the medium to “breathe” and guide the image. This alchemical approach situates him less as an image-maker than as a conductor of transformation, allowing matter itself to suggest spirit and impermanence.
