Catalogue Note:
Li Bai said,“Heaven and Earth are a guest house of the myriad things; time has been a passing traveller of a hundred generations. And floating life is like a dream; how often do we find true happiness?” Excluding the existence of the literati, the artist painted the open scroll and unfinished poem left in an old masterpiece Literary Garden. The swallows, which represent the good old time, sitting on the branch replacing the position of the literati, echoing what Li Bai said in the poem. We, humans, are like travelers in the flow of time. Life is like the floating dreams. Our memories, spirits, affection, and other thing that is incorporeal, will keep flowing in the river of time and history.
