藝術家天職以「開疆拓境」為要務。心境澄明筆下幽微空靈,隨心隨意畫中自在趣味浮現。本作品與《指月錄》卷二十八)禪語「見山是山,見水是水。見山不是山,見水不是水。見山仍是山,見水仍是水。」有關,新冠疫情期間,尋找新桃花源是創作契機所在。
The primary mission of an artist is to pioneer new frontiers. The clarity and spirit beneath the brushstroke are nuanced and profound, spontaneously igniting the joy of freedom and ease within the painting. This artwork is connected to Volume 28 of Zhi yue lu, which contains the Zen adage: "I saw mountains as mountains, and waters as waters. Then I saw that mountains are not mountains, and waters are not waters. Finally, I see mountains once again as mountains, and waters once again as waters." The quest for a new utopia amidst the COVID-19 pandemic was an opportunity for creativity.
