Red - Jay Chou Portrait with Coffee Cup Stains 用咖啡漬畫周傑倫

What inspired me?
The project was inspired by the opening line in Jay Chou's song, 'Secret/不能说的秘密'. It is inspired by the opening sentence, about lifting up a coffee cup off the saucer, "冷咖啡离开了杯垫" and the ending of the song about autumn leaves and fragmented pieces, "飘落后才发现 这幸福的碎片, 要我怎么捡?". This is shown through the portrait as a whole - how it's formed by many individual rings, many of them broken and imperfect like fallen autumn leaves, forming Jay Chou's portrait. The story of the song is about a girl who travelled forward 20 years in time and met Jay in 1999, and they fell in love. She then went back to 1979 and sketched out the portrait of him. My painting is meant to look like a sepia-toned old photograph to capture the essence of this story.

Hope you like it. God bless!

Lyrics 不能说的秘密

冷咖啡離開了杯墊
我忍住的情緒在很後面

拼命想挽回的從前
在我臉上請晣可見

最美的不是下雨天
是曾與你躲過雨的屋簷
回憶的畫面 在盪著鞦韆 夢開始不甜

妳說把愛漸漸 放下會走更遠
又何必去改變 己錯過的時間

妳用妳的指尖 阻止我說再見
想像妳在身邊 在完全失去之前

妳說把愛漸漸 放下會走更遠
或許命運的籤 只讓我們遇見

只讓我們相戀 這一季的秋天
飄落後才發現 這幸福的碎片
要我怎樣撿
