Chinese painting by brush is a representation of the Chinese philosophy and its culture from public perceiptionand which is the mission given to ink painting by Dan ink. One can not ignore the outstanding contribution to contemporary by Zhang Yu, especially from “Divine Light” series; people even name him the Pioneer of Experimental Ink. Zhang’s work is more emotionally inspired where traditional ink is usually imagery. Zhang said “Chinese painting focuses on spirit rather than actual imagery, which deviate it from western art, and that is the essence and core to Chinese painting.”

“Divine Light” is the last experimental work done on brush, and it is a very rare experimental work that Zhang is reluctant to categorize it as abstract. Zhang constructed a pattern, that depicts the floating light in space, emphasizing the non-imagery rather than abstract. This is how it differentiates itself from the western and Japanese abstract.
