On the Evolution and Formulation of Contemporary Ink and Wash Schema

When creating, artists will incorporate their own life and work experience into their own works of art. This is why art comes from life and is higher than life. . Artistic creation is not isolated, he is the artist's emotion and life as well as the emotional expression of contemporary society.

As far as contemporary forms of communication are concerned, graphics are more intuitive, more vivid and more likely to produce strong memories than language. In today's globalization, time and space are more rapid and complicated than any previous era. However, the contemporary attributes of a mature work of art will have unique characteristics in the era of its existence, stand out from the crowd, and acquire its own value. As far as every successful artist is concerned, if you study it carefully, his artistic expression language techniques and the subject matter of his works have a very graphic personality-we call it recognizability.

As a unit of the powerful matrix of Chinese culture, ink painting is a national image bred from the multi-cultural genes of "harmony without difference" of many ethnic groups living in this land, rather than a pure totem based on simple isomorphism. The ink and wash language schema is a spiritual nobleman accumulated in a long history, economy, society, politics, religion, and folklore psychology. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, there have been great artists who span history and illuminate the stars in all dynasties. Ink and wash is one of the most wonderful carriers of Chinese cultural memory, and it was the peak of ink and wash art in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was on the basis of repeatedly reading history that I stumbled upon the pattern of Taihu stone and lotus painted by the great painter Chen Hongshou of the Ming Dynasty. After a lot of comparative research, I realized that new creative patterns appeared. Combining the colorful ink lotus that I have been creating for more than ten years, my "Taihu Stone and Lotus" series was born.

The series of Taihu stone works originated in the last years of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. From 683 to 690, Wu Zetian was appointed as the empress dowager of Tang Zhongzong and Tang Ruizong, and later became Emperor Wu Zhou (690-705). Folklore Wu Zetian wanted to change his dynasty. The ministers of civil and military affairs refused to accept that they wanted women to be emperors unless the stone blossomed. At that time, someone reported to the court that a lotus flower was found blooming from the stone cave in Taihu Lake. This was a rare omen in a thousand years. After reciting the proverb of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, Wu Zetian then changed the dynasty and established the Great Zhou, the first female emperor in history. Since then, Taihu Stone has become a kind of cultural appreciation for literati, doctors and nobles, and it has been highly respected until today. "Water Margin" is a story drawn from Taihu Stone. I unearthed the Taihu stone series from this allusion, and used images to express the auspicious omen of this once-in-thousand-year encounter. Let everyone feel the charm of art. The paintings combine fine brushwork and freehand brushwork, and the contrast between tradition and modernity gives people a strong visual impact, which is pleasing to the eye and endless aftertaste. This is the ink scheme created by contemporary ink language.

Contemporary ink and wash is a knowledge system in a new context, and its spread is the oriental charm that appears in the differentiation of the Western cultural context. This is a context that lasts for thousands of years. The existence of Chinese ink and wash is determined by its orderly inheritance and perfect industrial chain. Its unique tales of paper, pen, ink, inkstone, and inscriptions on gold and stone show the eternal power of ink and wash culture. Only the truth of the soul is the truth of ink and wash.
