《山水赋-2020.2.15》42×59.4cm纸本水彩、色粉等2020年
Traditional Chinese landscape painting served as a spiritual totem for ancient literati in the agrarian era. By constructing idealized terrains and channeling ink, they expressed gratitude to heaven and earth, sought communion with the ineffable cosmos, and revealed their inner worlds. Drawing on this legacy, Gu Liming’s Shanshui Fu embarks on rational yet unrestrained experimentation—a passionate interplay of calculated structure and spontaneous gesture. It simultaneously probes new possibilities and confronts the chaos and disorientation of contemporary existence.
In an age of technological acceleration and burgeoning artificial intelligence, such bold experimentation and visceral mark-making align more deeply with humanity, preserving dignity in the face of automation. Juxtaposed against the primal universe crafted by the Creator and the human-engineered "Metaverse" of the internet, Shanshui Fu embodies the ambivalent, ineffable psyche of modern individuals. Only through its vivid, concrete imagery can it release the tangled, irresolvable emotions of our time, echoing across the expanse of eternity.
