The Theme of Mt. Huangshan
Mount Huang is located in the southern part of Anhui Provinc, extend across - Shexian, Yixian, Taiping and Xiuning. It is famous for its magnificent and imposing lofty peaks and deep ravines. When it is cloudy, the pinnacles loom in mists as if they were visionary. When you visit Mount Huang on a sunny day, you will be embraced by its slowly unfolding breathtaking natural sceneries in their most gorgeous manner. Chinese artists and poets of many centuries are inspired by the constant changing colours and appearances of Mount Huang in different seasons. Therefore, Mount Huang stands in the heart of Chinese literati/scholar artists of many generations.
My Heart Landscape follows the manner of Mei Qing (1623-1697) in both composition and brushwork. It represents an attempt to describe the strong character and grandieur of the mountain. The artist cleverly places the figure admiring the scenery on the top of a supporting mountain ridge, which is marked by a red pavillion, directing the viewer to the magnificent waterfall and the mountain ridge until everything disappears in distance. The close attention to minute details in the brushwork and the rich variation in the composition of the rocks and trees are rarely seen in his contemporaries.
