Expressing the mountain scene and the vapour in an abstract way.
"Black vapour" is a work that fuses Eastern aesthetics with contemporary abstract expression, exploring the poetic moments of cloud and mist transformations between heaven and earth.
The work features a profound night sky as its backdrop, with golden star points reminiscent of the "sparse stars and pale moon" described by ancient literati, creating a serene and profound sense of the cosmos. The blue-purple mountain ranges undulate in layers, like distant peaks shrouded in morning mist, embodying the aesthetic pursuit found in Chinese landscape painting where "mountain colors appear ethereal in mist and rain."
Golden flowing lines move like clouds weaving through the mountains, or resemble the natural blending of ink on rice paper, manifesting the spiritual essence of traditional ink wash techniques where "ink divides into five colors." Turquoise accents add depth to the composition, like vegetation appearing and disappearing amidst mountain forests.
The warm yellow tones at the bottom symbolize the earth's gentleness, contrasting with the cool tones above to create the cosmic concept of "heaven is dark, earth is yellow." The overall composition embodies the aesthetic principles of Eastern philosophy—the harmony of yin and yang, and the mutual generation of void and substance.
"Black vapour" is not merely an abstract interpretation of natural scenery, but a contemporary expression of traditional cultural spirit, inviting viewers to experience the poetry and Zen essence from the depths of Eastern culture through the symphony of color and texture.
