Project Description
Song(松|宋):
"Song" is an oriental art piece featuring the imagery of pine trees, symbolising tenacity and fortitude in traditional Chinese culture. Departing from the artist’s previous works, “Song” adopts a unique style of generative landscapes inspired by the landscape paintings of the Song and Yuan dynasties, particularly the flourishing era of literati landscape paintings (文人山水画). In these paintings, solitude and ultimate simplicity are expressed through the partially imaginary landscapes within the artist's mind.
