+ OVERVIEW

The oil painting, "The View of Mountain and Farmland", is a rare work of art blending Western and Chinese artistic philosophies with rich Chinese poetry and culture to embody a wealth of knowledge. The panoramic composition depicts a scene of fish and rice fields in Guilin. The shadows of the mountains in the distance are rendered lightly in ink, and the brushwork reflects the spirit and expression of "Summer Mountains" by the Northern Song Dynasty painter Qu Ding. The scene moves from far to near in a flat and distant manner, with a thousand hills and pale fields of water. As the view moves forward, the mountains become increasingly steeper, as if lush forests and clouds locking the mountainsides appear and move the shape of the mountains step by step. Up close, the shape of the mountains is beautiful and magnificent, similar to the rhythm of the mountains and rocks in the painting, "Fisherman in Reclusion on an Autumn River", by Wu Zhen from the Yuan Dynasty——The pale and muddy style of the landscape painting is an apt expression of the ancient style of singing about mountains and rivers. The heroic temperament of the brushwork is also derived from his mentor Huang Binhong's sparse and clean style of the Xin'an School and then Wu Zhen's dark and thick ink accumulation style, reflecting the influence of the traditional techniques of Pang Jiun.
