In the Landscape · Pure Sound series, Nie Yan  reinterprets the traditional Chinese shanshui (landscape) through the  language of contemporary oil painting. Each canvas echoes the rhythm of  classical brushwork yet dissolves its rigidity through modern color and  texture.    By juxtaposing calligraphic fragments, pixel-like grids, and serene  landscapes, the artist creates a dialogue between ancient silence and digital  noise — an inquiry into how “purity” can survive within the visual complexity  of the modern world.
