Renewed public interest in Ink Art has stimulated exciting discourses in Chinese art, and it prompts the question: which aspect of Ink Art best captures the soul of Chinese traditional painting. The art of Shanshui, or “mountains and water” painting, is the indisputable candidate. Chinese imagination of Magic Mountains posits a realm for the spirit that is both transcendent and concrete, and over the past millennium Shanshui has come to represent a spiritual site that is simultaneously religious, escapist, romantic and intellectually fulfilling.
This exhibition intends to bring together contemporary practitioners whose work illuminates important aspects of the subject from diverse angles. The selection also tries not to be redundant of recent museum shows, and includes artists less familiar but no less important.
Hanart is pleased to present contemporary landscape artist Xu Longshen at Art Basel alongside a specially selected group of contemporary masters whose work references the ink traditon across different media, including: CAO Xiaoyang, GU Wenda, HSU Yu-Jeen, LEUNG Kui-Ting, LIN Haizhong, LIU Guosong, QIU Shihua, SHEN Aiqi, WANG Dongling, Wucius WONG
