About the Artwork：

Laozi Writing Dao De Jing, 2020. Xiu Yitang. Ink and color on rice paper.

Presenting a scene where tradition and philosophy blend, this artwork showcases the ancient sage Laozi writing his seminal work, the Dao De Jing. In this vivid painting, we witness Laozi in a state of 'Unity of Heaven and Man,' depicting a moment of profound thinking and celestial alignment.

The painting reveals two worlds at once: the tangible reality where Laozi is writing, and a higher spiritual realm that his thoughts tap into, suggesting a heavenly and sacred state. The use of classic color schemes enhances the contrast between Laozi and his surroundings, while the gentle glow of golden hues highlights a flowing energy, adding a divine aura to the sage.

While respecting ancient styles, this piece introduces something fresh, bringing a more realistic and three-dimensional feel to the imagery. It is a gentle nod to traditional art while also embracing new perspectives and techniques, creating an accessible bridge between the past and the present for viewers to traverse and explore.
