Description
Description
“Miraculous Variation, Beyond Boundaries”, which means infinitely changing imagery beyond boundaries in Chan’s modern ink art, is extracted from The Theory of Six Chirography written by master of Chinese calligraphy in Tang Dynasty, Zhang Huai Guan. Chan delves into a famous painter living in the end of Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, Bada Shanren’s notion “the rules of painting embodied in Chinese calligraphy”. Chan integrates the brushstrokes of Chinese calligraphy in paintings, aiming to achieve a “magical alteration and infinite” spiritual status where “the momentum of words is vivid and natural, as if the evolution of nature is incorporated in that particular momentum.”
You are cordially invited to the vernissage of “Miraculous Variation, Beyond Boundaries” – Chan Shing Kau’s Modern Ink Exhibition dated 13 May 2019. Welcome to Cheer Bell Gallery!
The “Roots of Heaven and Earth” series conveys aesthetics of Chinese traditional culture. In order to express “the tension of white lines”, Chan Shing Kau searched for traces of fluids (reserving in white) flowing slowly on the rice paper (tinted with black). With semi-abstract and freely meandering lines, symbolic cursive scripts which resembled the vastness of earth and hilly mountains emerged, thus forming a unique sentiment for hills and natural tension of white lines which moved the audiences.
