Free as a Fish in the Water

Year:

2017

Size:

113*33

Material:

High Temperature Underglaze Color Blue and White Porcelain Vase

Rendered  in serene cobalt blue, this porcelain vase conveys the ideal of freedom and  ease — “a fish in its native water.”    The gentle flow of brushwork and the meditative emptiness of white space  echo the Daoist spirit of natural harmony.

这件青花瓷器突破了传统青花以叙事、写实为主的格调,更倾向于抽象表现与现代艺术语境。它既有东方水墨的韵味,更强调一种氤氲的意境与流动感。又与西方抽象艺术有某种呼应,是一种跨越古典与现代的融合之作。
