Artist forges a 鈥榯hird way鈥 for ink-wash
Print Edition
When talk turns to traditional Chinese ink-wash painting, it invariably focuses on stereotypical subjects such as birds and flowers.
But artist Wu Yiming, a pioneer in the area, is determined to render something new from this ancient art genre.
His solo-exhibition, 鈥淧ainting the Banal鈥 currently on display at the ShanghART Gallery, is a continuation of his experiments in the use of a spare and refined painting style over the past few years.
In fact, his works have blazed for themselves a 鈥渢hird way.鈥 His is a style in between contemporary pictorial consciousness and the traditional spirit of Chinese painting.
By depicting scenes of everyday life, they pierce through to the deep sensorial layer of our experience of the present.
Born in 1966 in Shanghai, Wu is a graduate from the Fine Arts Department of East China Normal University.
In the ordinary glimpse of what Wu depicts, flowers and tree shadows or city lights are no longer presented before the eyes with the matter-of-factness of 鈥渙bjects.鈥
Rather, the actual subject, hidden behind the canvas, is the artist himself.
In his 鈥淟ight鈥 series and in his representations of urban scenes, which he has worked on continuously over the past two years, visitors can clearly sense this 鈥渟lowness鈥 of time.
Perhaps revealed on the rice paper is also the contemplation and introspection of the artist himself in the silence of his solitary corner.
