Silent Depths 静水深流 – Ding, Pei 丁沛 – 2014

Pure heart contemplating the way — the true protagonist of this painting is not any particular mountain or river, but the “hidden Way” itself. With a heart of clarity and calm, the artist depicts a realm of “observing the Way.” Here, the Taoist concept of the unity of Heaven and humanity becomes a visible landscape, where emptiness and form coexist, and white is measured as black. This is not merely a display of technique, but a manifestation of Eastern wisdom.

澄怀观道，这幅画作的真正主角并非一山一水，而是那“隐逸”的道，以一颗澄怀之心，绘就一片“观道”之境。在这里，道家“天人合一”的思想化为可视的图卷，虚实相生，计白当黑，这不仅仅是技艺，更是东方智慧的体现。
