The ink in Chinese painting is far more than a visual hue. It carries the unique spirit of Chinese culture, embodying the philosophical tenets of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Through ink, one contemplates forms and enters a state of serene observation—a realm advocated by all three traditions.
What are the “New Visions”?
Taoism promotes a cultivation of “simplicity and tranquility,” suggesting that “the five colors can blind the eye.” The return from dazzling polychromy to the subtlety of monochrome ink is not a diminishment, but an elevation—a sublimation of the spirit and a return to essence. This profound spiritual lineage, though not fully systematized in textual theory, has always been embedded within the fertile ground of ancient and folk arts. It forms the ancient foundation from which the “Fantasy-Color Freehand” aesthetics germinates and engages in dialogue.
From a New Coordinate
This new name is a sincere tribute to, and a natural transcendence of, the past stage of “New Perspectives on Oriental Art.” It carries forward the acuity and contemplation of observation, resolved now to move into a broader space of interpretation and collaborative construction.
Henceforth, “New Visions in Art” will be our shared ground:
· A live site presenting the evolution of Fantasy-Color Freehand creations.
· A textual space for interpreting the artistic philosophy and formal language of Muran Gong / Lu Guanyu.
· An open forum for sharing and engaging with global art friends and collectors on the “New Visions” for the future of art.
The change is here. The perspective is refreshing. We invite you to join us in gazing upon the exciting new visions about to emerge.
