Unexpressed Love 爱如诗

布上丙烯 Acrylic on canvas. 

大小 Size：92 cm x 73 cm

这幅作品是Krs对爱的理解的一个诠释。爱仿佛是教堂彩色玻璃覆盖下的绚烂色彩，丰富亮丽，却也让人看不清。

This painting is a representation of Krs' concept of love. With meticulously-painted crystal hearts to create an effect of stained glass that gives both a feeling of sacred love and a message that love is sometimes hard to see clear.

透过彩色玻璃，是升起的太阳与星光，两端的桥梁，需要时间去建造。手拿两只气球的Kero会如何选择？一边是对他人之爱，一边是对自我之爱。是由己及人，还是由人忘己，这是这幅作品探讨的爱之哲学。

And behind the idealistic bubbles, the rising sun shines with a burning star, across a bridge is built and reaching the way love and connection takes time to build. A question of balance is asked here: two love balloons held by Kero, one is love for the other and one is the love for the self. So which one should we let go? To love our self enough to love the other or the other way around?

Krs has applied his unique ways of painting colors to have created the feeling for love as both sacred and warm. But the image he used has extended our understanding of love to look at the concept of connection, trust and a balance between our self and our loved ones. 

Love is the Wings爱如翼

布上丙烯 Acrylic on canvas

Size 大小：92 cm x 73 cm

这幅作品以比喻形态，将心被闪电般的爱击中的瞬间以直观，有力的意象展现。爱是闪电，照亮了黑夜。爱也是翅膀，让心有了会飞的力量。该作品对黑夜色彩的处理，让整幅作品绽放能量，凸现了整颗心的核心意象。

This painting is a great capture of the moment when the heart is struck by love like a lightening. The energy breaks the darkness and shines through the two hearts connecting into one. Wings spread as the love and connection grows and bonds.

What's interesting about this painting is how Kris painted the colors of the night as a background to create an electrified effect of love casting light into darkness. 

Love for Humanity 爱与人性

布上丙烯 Acrylic on canvas

Size 大小：50 cm x 35 cm

这幅作品是Krs对当下人性在面对科技与技术发展的飞速变化下的探讨与担忧。深蓝色的山脊或海浪，是脱离技术变革的人性的最后一代，是亲近自然，享受自然的一代。而在它上方是涂鸦于墙上的“人性”，其背后是城市的轮廓，充斥着技术的变革，与其带来的对人性的冲击。人性，在这个背景下，仿佛是受困的笼中之鸟，流下的墨，是人性的逐渐磨灭。在城市上方的彩色黑夜，是云朵还是监视的眼睛？整幅作品的底端是Krs作品多处出现的仿佛是二进制的文字，这是一幅探讨人性在技术革新下何去何从的作品。

This painting is a great work representing Krs' concern for the loss of humanity under the crazy development of technology and AI. He ponders the question where this may lead humanity. The blue ridges or ocean waves we can see in the painting represent the last generation of humanity away from technology - who can still enjoy nature and be close to it, upon which Krs used a style of graffiti art to show a distorted sense of humanity with a backdrop of a modern big city with building painted as in binary code. 'Humanity', dripping its paint off, seems to be a caged and lost sense in the city of technology. And where the sky is supposed to be is a canopy of colorful clouds or monitoring eyes of technology?

Through this painting, Krs showed his concern and asks the question where would humanity go?
