The Moutain of Protection

2224.jpg

Human beings have always relied on mountains. The sense of security that mountains provide extends beyond the basic necessities of material abundance; it also assures psychological stability. The silk scroll paintings capture purity, simplicity, and a sense of leisure, which stem from Yue Yichuan's study of traditional Chinese painting. Within these rational and balanced orders, there is also vitality and lively movement.

Ravine of Line

_20231024172101.jpg

Maurice Merleau-Ponty believed that the artist's vision possesses a "passive mystery," a mystery hidden within the chasms of a gorge. When human civilization emerged, the first lines were drawn on the cave walls, marking their birth. The gorge extends beyond natural objects; it also stitches together the realm of the tangible with the realm of the spiritual.
