Ink artist depicts microcosmic universe with fine brushwork

In classic Chinese literature, yinyun literally meant dense mist and meanwhile, its extended meaning referred to the microcosmic world in which the living beings developed and interacted with each other to generate an atmosphere of energies.

Under ink artist Wang Zikun's delicate strokes, she has vividly visualized this little universe of variety and dynamics with an elegant palette. She has employed those motifs in ancient Chinese paintings and rearranged them in a different composition to deliver a sense of modernity and serenity.

More Viewpoints, Wang's solo exhibition now on at a gallery of Rongbao Zhai's headquarters in Beijing, opens the audience's eyes to this vigorous world she has built. Mountain rocks, butterflies, all sorts of flowers are placed in the same composition with sofas, chairs and cars to show a mysterious, supernatural realm by which, Wang, also an assistant professor of Central Academy of Fine Arts, seeks for spirituality and to redefine people's perspectives of seeing nature.

The exhibition is through to June 19.
