空間，對於趙無極而言，決不意味著顏料於畫布表面上的有限鋪陳。在他的繪畫中，畫布便是天地，是可以被無限填充與彌合的“經營”物件。于方寸之間，趙無極體味著顏料的流光溢彩，激揚著運筆的點染遒勁，卻在造型的顯露之上營造出一個個廣袤、夢幻而又空靈的世界。這造型，或是超乎具體形象的抽象表達，或是貼合映現本身的物象顯現。進入九十年代，趙無極在達到藝術技法爐火純青境地的基礎上，又回歸至之前被丟棄的具體意象，在形象的若隱若現中實現自由精神、清明心境的駐入。1991年創作的《抽象山水27.08.91》便是如此，藝術家在縱向構圖中，運用中國傳統繪畫中的“留白”手法，令淡綠色與白色暈染而成的大片天空彌漫於畫面中心，宛若溫潤清麗的玉石，深邃卻又混沌，分隔出上部的煙雲彩霞與下部的山林樹石。煙雲的飄溢之感以油畫顏料塑造出淡墨般的通透質感，掩映著一抹微微泛紅的晚霞，共同沉浸于天宇之中。遠處群山綿延而致，近景中沉穩的姹紫和象牙白色堆砌著安于寧靜，卻又不失熱烈的岩石，左側的枯樹幹枝蔓延著歲月的痕跡。趙無極在畫中以色彩的激蕩交融和筆觸的自在揮灑，架構出天地同一、水氣氤氳的無窮變幻之景，亦在其中寄託著天人合一、虛靜忘我的東方哲思。
