Fiery Ink, displacing Guo Xi 's "Early Spring", No.1
《火墨．郭熙早春圖》no.1
Fiery Ink first on-site creation
火墨作品首次現地創作發表 2015 /12月
In the winter of 2015, during a trip to Beijing, I encountered a purple haze alert, with the entire city shrouded in noxious smog. This intense, visceral experience spurred me to create the 'Fiery Ink' (火墨) series as a response to air pollution.
Fiery Ink' replaces traditional ink materials with scorched Xuan paper ash, fundamentally transforming classic 'ink-wash' (水墨) landscape painting into 'fiery ink' landscape painting. 'Fiery Ink' Part 1 primarily appropriates historical paintings that feature 'air' as a subject, aiming to highlight the variations in landscapes, ancient and modern, under the impact of climate change. The 'moist ink atmosphere' traditionally found in classical ink-wash landscape paintings thus transforms into an 'arid ink atmosphere,' permeated by smog and air pollution.
2015年冬天到北京遭遇到紫薶警報，整個城市壟罩在烏煙瘴氣之中，這強烈的體感促使我創作對應於空汙的「火墨」（Fiery Ink）系列。「火墨」是以燒灼的宣紙炭灰取代傳統的水墨材質，將原本傳統經典的「水墨」山水畫置換為「火墨」山水畫，「火墨」Part 1主要是挪用歷史古畫對應於具有空氣題材的畫作，藉以凸顯氣候變遷下的古今山水變異。原本傳統水墨山水畫的潤墨空氣，變成了充滿霾害空汙的燥墨空氣。
