CHINESE CONTEMPORARY INKSChinese Contemporary Inks –Ravenel presents a new section in its Hong Kong autumn sale encompassing an exceptional selection of Chinese Contemporary ink works from 34 distinguished artists. This section includes a series of works that epitomize how the age-old medium of inks is being simultaneously reimagined and revered by artists such as Peng Kang Lung, whose work embodies the narrative quality of the seasonal cycle and entices the viewer to appreciate the ecological vision of growth and decay. These paradigm innovations are also evident in Teng Pu Chun’s idyllic tranquil depictions a mountainous scape within the confines of a cylindrical cosmos. Among artists who actively engage in exploring the concepts of bold renewal and reinterpretation in his artistic endeavor is Qin Feng, a master of fusion through synthesizing symbols from his multi-cultural background. This section also includes works by established artists such as Lin Feng-mian, who already have a strong presence both locally and abroad. Chinese Contemporary Inks showcases pioneering artists who have contributed in finding new ways of expressing and enriching the old essence of ink works as they shed the rigid constraints of Classical tradition to manifest their own version of a contemporary expression through means of abstraction, individual perspectives and other contemporary elements within the greater context of an increasingly globalized world full of cultural hybridity. While some of these artists adhere to their passion for the meticulous fine brush, others make use of abstraction in forms in attempts to bring new techniques and visual effect to their ink art, presenting works replete with an optimism for the future of the distinct medium of Chinese contemporary inks.
