Empty Dale

作品賞析

Wen Meng-Wei’s ink paintings express his unique views about life. Empty Dale shows a monotonous composition of ink dots of varying densities that are assembled to form a majestic and serene landscape. Towering mountains, forests and contrasting tones were used to generate a sense of scale and distance. The pale clouds and light breeze help to emphasize the harmonious calmness generated by the painting. The artist treats every ink dot as a means to communicate inner emotions. Dots are stacked together to create the figurative and materialist framework of life as well as serene skies, mountains, and rivers that thoughts could adhere to.
