Catalogue Note:
“Girl with a Skull Ring 3” is the last piece of work in “Ashen Face” series. Unlike the centered compositions of the previous pieces, the artist painted the girl with her finger pressed to her lips in a provocative the “shush” motion, dominating the entire left side of the image. At first glance, the viewer’s line of sight falls completely on the red-painted nail of the model’s painted fingertip, as it is the most distinctive color in the painting. However, one cannot escape the girl’s unwavering gaze, nor can one hide from the chilling empty stare of the skull ring below. If one takes a step back, the girl’s focused expression that appears to be fixated on the viewer leaves quite the lasting impression. This is the very quality of “Ashen Face” that sets it apart from others - a murky yet intriguing dissonance.

Lo Chan-peng and his “Ashen Face” works have also caught the attention of a famous Taiwanese record label - B’in Music. In 2015, he designed the cover and interior of the album “Herstory with Mayday.” With outstanding musicians like Mayday, he made his unique existence known in the current era of music and art.
