Ink Landscape (水墨山水)

This ink landscape painting, titled "Mountain Stream About to Rain," was created by Mr. Chen Zilin in 2022. The work showcases a unique approach to landscape depiction, presenting a vista of overlapping mountains shrouded in mist, conveying the atmosphere of an impending mountain rain. The mountains are rendered in deep, dense ink, creating clear layers, while the mist between the mountains is represented by extensive use of white space, forming a stark contrast that adds a sense of ethereality and dynamism to the piece. Mr. Chen rarely paints landscapes, but due to his profound skill in brushwork and ink handling, his landscape paintings are also highly treasured and merit the attention of collectors.
