Trace of Landscapes, Path of the Heart: Gu Liming’s Shanshui Fu
The here and now is the most tangible reality, each fleeting moment seemingly fresh and unprecedented. Yet tracing back to the roots reveals that the "source code" of contemporary cultural patterns was established as early as the Axial Age. Ancient souls never truly vanish; under the sun, there is nothing new, only ever-shifting skins of novelty.
The present slips away swiftly, becoming the past in a blink. Gu Liming contemplates the past, present, and imagined future through a broader, timeless consciousness. As a scholar-artist, he adopts a cultural-archaeological approach to develop his own critical inquiries and conceptual frameworks. Within these frameworks, the secrets of his innermost being leap and transform, laid bare through the tactile unity of mind and hand in painting.
