Catalogue Note:
The light from afar penetrates the lingering mist, like a beautiful woman’s skirt dancing in the breeze. The movement is both dazzling and refined even if it is out flying Aspara’s reach. The poem “Four Poems on the Swallow Terrace” by Li Shangyin mainly describes the poet’s yearning for his lover afar and his moods through the changing seasons. The darkest black and the most transparent yellow merge together on the canvas harmoniously. Their junction is more clear than blurred. Colors flow across each other like fine sands or light mists, weaving into a variety of layers. This piece is like a window, leading viewers to have a glimpse of, like the technique used in Chinese ink landscape painting, the artist’s boundless and majestic artistic skill.
