Inspiration Behind the Exhibition Series
The subjects of this watercolor exhibition are drawn from sculptural masterpieces spanning nearly 2,000 years of history, including the statues of the Parthenon, Gandharan art, and Buddhist sculptures from China's Northern Dynasties, as well as the Tang and Song dynasties. In museums, much of the historical legacy of both East and West is preserved in fragmented forms. The artist reinterprets these notions of "incompleteness" and "loss" through the medium of water and color, striving for perfection in artistic language. While navigating subtle contradictions—between abundance and scarcity, concealment and revelation, simplicity and complexity, and density and lightness—they found inspiration in the Buddhist philosophy of "the union of manifestation and emptiness." Through the re-creation of these classical materials, the artist aims to explore the "non-duality" of imperfection and wholeness, aspiring for harmony and perfection in the artistic dimension.
