Traversing Streams and Crossing Peaks – A New Transformation Unveiled
The opening ceremony of this exhibition was held today (2nd) at Wenhua Hall, National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, curated by the art connoisseur, Dr. Yeh. This milestone exhibition showcases the calligraphy of Huang Kuo-Shu, centered on four thematic elements. The first, “Traversing Ancient and Modern,” metaphorically expresses the artist’s fluid journey through the profound realms of calligraphy, as if a dragon swimming in an ink sea; “Strength with Flexibility” symbolizes the artist’s passionate dedication to art and his aspiration for balance and ease, in governance, interactions, and creative expression; “Flowing Like Clouds and Water” reveals an impression of unrestrained freedom and the artist’s own ideals for life and art; and “In a Small Space, a Vast Distance” reaches for the highest state of art, creating an expansive visual that brings boundless emotion, depth, and resonance to the viewer.
Dr. Yeh, the curator, remarks, “Calligraphy must undergo intense refinement, combining the essence of various styles to gradually shape its own distinct appearance.” Huang Kuo-Shu, who began his studies through replicating the calligraphy of esteemed figures, has harmonized these foundations with his aesthetic, bringing forth innovation from the traditional and imparting his work with a unique vitality.
