_2024030521384911.jpg

The concept behind the artwork "The Art of Digital Media" is rooted in the philosophical contemplation of life's simplicity and complexity. The design theme follows the artistic language of traditional Chinese ink landscape painting, symbolizing the transition from nothingness to existence, echoing the interpretation of yin and yang in the Dao De Jing as "mutual generation and support." Despite the contrasting colors, it is through contrast that the fundamental elements of the world are constructed.

Oriental Touch

_2024030521384912.jpg

Ke Jipeng's abstract paintings have a similar artistic appeal to the Ink Layering of traditional Chinese painting, which is both a form and an action. Using only two black-and-white colors and two brushes, Ke Jipeng draws lines over and over again. Through the countless back-and-forth labours of his "inactive" hand, the original fixed-size canvas boundaries seem to be in the midst of an extended and expanding movement.

He navigates between chaos and order, aiming to reconcile thought, emotion, and will into a balanced state of unity.
