Catalogue Note

"Ink not only conveys a sense of boldness and strength, but also carries an elusive charm and suggest spontaneity.  No matter when it is delineated or blotted or splashed on the paper, it is highly rhythmical and the effect is always exciting.  One can even feel its breath and pulse as it flows across the paper in either fluid or rugged paces, eventfully transporting its viewer to a realm of transcendency, the sublime state of Chinese painting." 

ZHAO CHUNXIANG, "THE SPIRIT OF ART IN EASTERN AND WESTERN CULTURES: A COMPARATIVE VIEW," 1974
