Chuang Che, Deep Ridge - Remote Way, Solo Exhibition in National Art Museum of China, Asia art Center, Taipei, 2007, color illustrated, p. 29

With rapid brush movements, a free and easy style of painting, and the use of elegant textures, Chuang Che has created a scene of vast and swirling frost and mist during the Pure Brightness (Qingming) period. The bright and full-bodied tone brings an auspicious and peaceful atmosphere among numerous and complicated confusions. Varying bold with light brushstrokes, Chuang carefully depicts rustling grass and plants in falling frost and floating mist, and perfectly integrates the organic lives of human beings and those of nature. Pure frost and vast woods extend endlessly in verdant green towards the horizon, leaving behind an infinite space of imagination. The artist moves back and forth across the centre of the canvas in the style of boldness and quickness of Chinese calligraphy and painting. The artist annotates the beautiful and harmonious coexistence of nature and human civilization with sober, inclusive and unconstrained use of colors, and with a taste of vigorousness, firmness, flexibleness and gracefulness.
