iPRECIATION is delighted to announce Metamorphosis of Ink, showcasing the transformative power of ink art in the hands of four internationally renowned artists: Zhuang Shengtao (b. 1944, China), Wang Tiande (b. 1960, China), Jennifer Wen Ma (b. 1973, China/USA), and Chui Pui Chee (b. 1980, Hong Kong).
With a rich and vibrant history, particularly within Chinese culture, ink has served not just as a medium for artistic expression, but also as a powerful medium for written communication and documentation. Traditionally, ink art has been defined by meticulous brushstrokes and washes adorning sheets of rice paper. Old masters honed their craft in calligraphy and paintings, creating works that transcended mere characters and images. Through subtle variations in line and tone, they captured the essence of nature, human emotion, and philosophical thought.
Metamorphosis of Ink embraces this remarkable legacy and ignites a transformative journey. This captivating exhibition showcases four international artists who are not content with simply replicating tradition. They are actively reimagining the possibilities of contemporary ink art. Their works embrace innovative techniques, unexpected tools, and mediums, pushing the boundaries of what this ancient practice can achieve.
