“What is the original?” This is the question that one must answer when one presents artworks like paintings, videos, and music. Alan explores the question of the boundary between what is original and what is not in the context of contemporary art.
Descended from appropriation art, a form of simulationism that appeared in New York in the early 1980s, his artworks have attracted attention from domestic and international collectors.
He tries to create new original works by reconstructing and combining original materials.
