\u201cMiraculous Variation, Beyond Boundaries\u201d, which means infinitely changing imagery beyond boundaries in Chan\u2019s modern ink art, is extracted from The Theory of Six Chirography written by master of Chinese calligraphy in Tang Dynasty, Zhang Huai Guan. Chan delves into a famous painter living in the end of Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, Bada Shanren\u2019s notion \u201cthe rules of painting embodied in Chinese calligraphy\u201d. Chan integrates the brushstrokes of Chinese calligraphy in paintings, aiming to achieve a \u201cmagical alteration and infinite\u201d spiritual status where \u201cthe momentum of words is vivid and natural, as if the evolution of nature is incorporated in that particular momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n
You are cordially invited to the vernissage of \u201cMiraculous Variation, Beyond Boundaries\u201d \u2013 Chan Shing Kau\u2019s Modern Ink Exhibition dated 13 May 2019. Welcome to Cheer Bell Gallery!<\/p>\n
The \u201cRoots of Heaven and Earth\u201d series conveys aesthetics of Chinese traditional culture. In order to express \u201cthe tension of white lines\u201d, Chan Shing Kau searched for traces of fluids (reserving in white) flowing slowly on the rice paper (tinted with black). With semi-abstract and freely meandering lines, symbolic cursive scripts which resembled the vastness of earth and hilly mountains emerged, thus forming a unique sentiment for hills and natural tension of white lines which moved the audiences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","location_type":[350136],"event_category":[373317,373488],"area_type":[350138],"event_language":[],"series":[],"event_category_other":[],"class_list":["post-1319521","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry","location_type-indoor-en","event_category-visual-arts-en","event_category-visual-arts-chinese-painting-calligraphy-and-seal-carving-en","area_type-local","search-detail"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/1319521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1319521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"location_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location_type?post=1319521"},{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=1319521"},{"taxonomy":"area_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/area_type?post=1319521"},{"taxonomy":"event_language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_language?post=1319521"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=1319521"},{"taxonomy":"event_category_other","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category_other?post=1319521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
