Perception: Domain 观·界 – Shao, Wei 邵蔚 – 2005

Perception · Domain takes the oracle-bone-script character “观” as its spiritual backbone, integrating Neo-Orientalist ink techniques with abstract expressionist language to reconstruct traditional symbols through the collision of Eastern and Western aesthetics.

By visually translating the character “观”, the incised marks of oracle-bone script are transformed into contemporary ink washes, creating a tension between the geometric order of traditional patterns and the fluid freedom of color. This interplay metaphorically reflects the rebirth of cultural DNA amid the fractures of time.

The work evokes the multidimensional nature of “transcendence”: both a decoding of history and a projection into the future. Here, “Art as the Peak” manifests in the pinnacle reconstruction of cultural lineage, while “Mind Alone Can Reach” invites viewers, through the gaze of a pair of observing eyes, to rediscover the possibilities of civilizational dialogue from a perspective that transcends both time and place.

《观·界》以甲骨文“观”字为精神骨架，融合新东方主义彩墨与抽象表现语言，在东西方美学的碰撞中重构传统符号。通过“观”字的视觉转译，将甲骨文的刻痕转化为现代彩墨的晕染，传统纹样的几何秩序与色彩流动的自由性形成张力，隐喻文化基因在时代裂变中的重生。暗示“穿越”的多维性：既是对历史的解码，亦是对未来的投射。“艺术为峰”在此体现为对传统文脉的巅峰重构，“唯心可达”则通过那双凝视的眼睛，邀请观者以超越地域与时代的精神视角，重新发现文明对话的可能性。
