Chinese painting is a traditional art with a long history as well as in heritage with Chinese philosophy. In Chinese ink painting, it explores the lyricism and abstraction. It also shows oriental art with the elegant aesthetic. Ink, water, bamboo brushes and rice papers are used in Chinese painting. We invited contemporary Artist, Evan Wu, to demonstrate how such elegant, traditional art can be infusing with contemporary element.
