Contemporary Ink Art - Landscapes

Artists have painted landscapes since ancient times. In the contemporary era, artists challenge the definition of landscapes and invite the viewers to contemplate how we relate to places that we live, see, or imagine. 


Wang Jiqian (C.C. Wang) (1907 2003)
Landscape No. 472
1983
ink and colour on paper framed, 100.4 x 49.5cm
Est. HK$800,000-1.2 million / US$104,000-155,000
Following in the Chinese painting tradition of landscapes with a highly conceptual component, Wang Jiqian's Landscape No.472 featured in significant retrospective exhibitions of the artist, and represents "the most highly personal and origianl of all the artist's work."  It is an important painting of Wang's mature period that fluently combines his impression of wrinkled paper and back painting techniques with rich mineral hues.

In an emotional approach to landscapes, Ho Huaishuo's River of Illusion is a grand example of a transformative scene filled with tragedy and conflict, epitomizing the artist's distinctive ability to convey strong sentiments to viewers.
