Displacing Tung Ch’i-ch’ang’s "Wanluan Thatched Cottage Painting" in THEY Shanshui
《類山水PS.董其昌婉孌草堂圖》

Yuan Hui-Li created her own "PS. THEY" series, employing "Yuan's Brushstrokes" (袁氏皴法). Through digital image editing and collage, she overlaid the rocks and mountains in Dong Qichang's Ming Dynasty painting Wanluan Thatched Cottage with her self-devised emotional Brushstrokes(Cun皴). This act replaces the classical, naturalistic brushwork with her own emotionally charged strokes. In doing so, not only subverts the brushwork lexicon and system constructed by ancient Chinese male landscape painters with a female consciousness but also deconstructs Dong Qichang's unified brushstroke structure, shifting towards a diverse and differential brushstrokes structure. This work premiered at the solo exhibition in the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, 2024.
袁慧莉自創《類山水》「袁氏皴法」，以數位影像編輯拼貼覆蓋明代董其昌《婉欒草堂圖》裡的山石，將自創的情緒性皴法取代古典的自然性皴法，不僅以女性意識顛覆古代中國男性山水畫家建構的皴法體系語彙，也解構董其昌一致性皴法結構，轉向多元差異性的皴法結構。​這件作品首展於2024年高雄市立美術館個展。
