Lot Essay

“The exceptional qualities of crayons include the capacity to add colour in detail, apply layers, create complex contrasts, and allow the medium to take the lead. Therefore, this tool has the effects of forceful change, powerful assertion, and vigorous speed. This new tool, which allows me to express colours directly from my mind, has unique characteristics that distinguish it from mediums such as pastel, oil paint, gouache, watercolour, or monochrome.” Wu Dayu
