Hong Ling has spent over 20 years in Mount Huang, and in his works, we can see the fusion between his rich inner mind and the mysteries of the natural landscape. “First, establish its greatness.” Hong Ling has consciously brought the “spirit” of Shanshui painting into landscape painting. When we look at Hong Ling’s works, we see on one hand what appear to be traditional colored shanshui painting, but they are also richer than traditional art, with the turquoise, sage green, and dark dreen of the image also incorporating the colors of oil painting and interacting with the natural scenery to be formed. On the other hand, his works has enriched the colors of western oil painting, because it looks more natural, infusing his colors with a sense of time, making them more natural and rhythmic.

Through a basic study of these three sections and the three generations represented, we can see that all these artists draw on various aspects of tradition. We attempt to establish a dialogue with Western modern art to form an individual language style and revive the eternal nature of Chinese art. The mission of Chinese painting is summarized with the following question: After Zao Wou-Ki, how can we thoroughly and abundantly rebuild the relationship between the spirit of nature and modern life, while integrating landscape paintings with those of scenery? Indeed, it is necessary to re-stimulate natural elements and activation of a Chinese artistic spirit. This will inevitably restart a new future for Chinese art.

Zhong uses “The Silence After Happiness” to coin his series of artwork. It is seemingly full of poetic sentiments, but it is vastly different in reality. Artists are evidently not “singers”. Instead, they are like “passerbyers” who encompass a sense of apathy, ridicule, and humor. Based on the previous phase of experimenting with materials, Zhong “jokingly” created various planes of texture, incorporating an assortment of colored grids into an uneven texture. From the surface, Zhong Jinpei’s artwork often inspires people to think of bed sheets, curtains, tablecloths, and other everyday textiles. Embodying an evident theme of everyday life, it corresponds to our life experiences.
