LUO Ying
羅穎born in Hangzhou, 1973
These paintings seek to articulate the power that is contained within softness, and the nascent ability of the charming to reveal the path to truth. Deconstructing the multidimensional structure of the imagined landscape, reveals the spatial perception of traditional landscape painting; deconstructing the brushwork of mountains and rocks, infuses the image with a western visual vocabulary. These deconstructions allow a decoding of shanshui’s aesthetic idea of ‘roaming and residing’. Landscape offers a means of revealing the human character, while the human character in turns reveals the landscape. The traditional poetic expression of ‘flowers reflected in a mirror and the moon reflected in a lake’ refers to the mirror image of the self, and the charm of the landscape in the mirror serves to mold self-perception. Passing through the layered mountains we penetrate to the heart of modern consciousness. Contained within these reflective and silent images lies a view of the world that is at once transient and eternal.
