About the Artwork：

Fairyland Valley, 2020. Xiu Yitang. Ink and color on rice paper.

Within the rich tapestry of Chinese art, the luminous blue-green hues of this piece transport viewers into an ethereal fairyland, deeply revered in Eastern philosophy. This fairyland extends beyond a mere serene landscape, encapsulating a yearning for the pure and beautiful. Here, nature unfolds majestically, aiming to provide a spiritual refuge and infuse observers with a renewed sense of hope.

Eschewing the typical emphasis on depth found in color blocks or the play of light and shadow, the painting celebrates the intrinsic beauty of lines, a cornerstone of Chinese artistry. Through these lines, emotions and spiritual reflections are conveyed, breathing life into a landscape that feels pulsating and eternal. The dance with the ink, from subtle whispers to pronounced statements and the interplay between dry and wet shades, strives to paint a landscape that stands timeless.

Every brushstroke, in its meticulous detail, pays homage to nature and conveys an underlying philosophy: finding rhythm even in moments of stillness and drawing strength from the most delicate details.

Engaging with this piece offers more than just visual pleasure. It serves as an invitation to delve deeper into Chinese cultural philosophies, appreciate the profound expressions embedded within, and discover a sense of tranquility that resonates universally.
