“Until the early 1980s I always composed repetitious figures as a pictorial enactment of the idea of infinity. Then, somehow I realised that the ground of a picture reveals itself and itself expressed infinity. It seems to me that each delimited brushstroke, each figure gradually became liberated from me, fully exhaling and inhaling space, and achieved more liveness [sic] than before.” ̶ ̶̶ Lee Ufan
