Lei Mingna: My series of wo rks, entitled "Ru Kiln", were created due to my fondness for horses and tea. People who are fond of Ru kiln will take the time to nourish it slowly wit h tea water, waiting for the charm that passing time will endow it with. I wish to record my feelings brought by the colors and texture of this ritual, either by painting on the subject of tea, or using tea water itself in the process of painting. Meanwhile, I love horses and painting them because they are silent friends of mankind. Gentleas well as courageous, they maintain a noble and reserved charac ter. To me, drawing a horse is just like drawing a half-cup of tea. It is a subject that allows me to draw with a calm mind and therefore draw as myself.
