Paintings featured
- The ultimate clash of color aesthetics:
- The mountains are dyed in nine layers of vermilion, rouge and iron red, with the top of the peaks in red as solidified as lava, the transition of ochre on the mountainside like the flow of flames, and the bottom of the rocky green moss dots like the earth awakening, forming a life map of “blazing flames scorching the sky and all living things coexisting together”;
- The original “colorful chapping” technique: mineral pigments are splashed and then chapped with a wolf-hair, retaining the free will of the ink while accurately portraying the cold texture of the rocks.
- A natural theater of motion and static:
- The waterfalls are outlined with “silk stroke”, the waves are stacked with titanium-white pigment, and the water mist at the foot of the mountain is dyed with wet topography, which is like thunder echoing through the canyon between reality and reality;
- Clouds and mist with “flying white to stay in the air” horizontal sweep dye, stone green peaks hidden in the dense, and the foreground of the red mountain ranges constitute a “near blaze far ghost” philosophical depth.
Detailed depiction
- The texture code of the ruddy Dan Cliffs:
- The side of the main peak shows the folds of the rock layer with “curling cloud chapped”, and gold foil fragments are sprinkled in the gap between the chapped lines, which looks like a dark surge of lava when viewed from the side light;
- The vegetation in the mountains is clustered with stone green and vine yellow, and the leaf veins are outlined with gold lines, forming a visual spectacle of “red furnace dotting snow” with the red-colored mountains.
- A microscopic epic of life:
- The water pool at the bottom of the waterfall is embellished with lapis lazuli powder, the red peaks in the reflection turn into reddish-red haze, and the duckweed between the ripples is hidden, concealing the Zen meaning of “one sand, one world”;
- Deep in the clouds and mist, the pine forests are written in burnt ink, with gnarled branches and trunks like oracle bone inscriptions, forming a dialogue between time and space between ancient penmanship and fiery colors.
Artistic Value
- A subversive experiment in traditional landscape painting:
- Reconstructing the majestic skeleton of Northern Song Dynasty’s Fan Kuan’s “Traveling in the Streams and Mountains” with Dunhuang mural mineral overdyeing technique, the vermillion peaks of the mountains are like bronze tripods, endowing the natural landscape with a civilized totem-like sense of heaviness;
- A two-way expression of natural philosophy:
- The red cliffs symbolize the fervent hope of life, the cold clouds and mist metaphorically represent the vastness of heaven and earth, and the roar of the waterfalls conveys the eternity of time, all three of which together constitute the oriental dialectical aesthetics of “blaze and silence”;
- The fusion of cross-cultural visual symbols:
- The color block cutting of the mountains echoes Mondrian’s compositionalism, and the abstract clouds and mist fit the minimalist aesthetics, but with the “curling cloud chapping” and “wandering silk tracing” to retain the oriental ink and brush genes, which has become a model of the dialogue between Chinese and Western aesthetics.
