There is a unity in the composition of Zao Wou-Ki's work that makes it more than formal art. Because of the magnitude of his spaces and the echoes between the different parts of the paintings, our eye never gets bored, as if his shapes and colors followed the stream of thoughts that spurts at every glance, anticipating its flux and reflux. These qualities are probably what relates Zao Wou-Ki's painting to music composition, which requests the listener's attention without brutality, and interrupts daydream only to follow a forever changing path.
