Noted Chinese American ink painting artist Hong Bo contemporary masterpieces “Flowers Fall Beyond the Edge of the Sky” unveiled at LA ART SHOW
Los Angeles-based Chinese American ink painting artist Hong Bo will bring his contemporary art piece “Flowers Fall Beyond the Edge of the Sky” to LA ART SHOW from Feb. 5th to 9th at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Hong Bo is a well-established Chinese painter who works in both China and the United States. He is a highly regarded Chinese artist in the international art scene. Mr. Hong’s works are based on various Chinese traditions and techniques. He has developed his own style, along with the successful practice of “American landscapes in Chinese painting.” He creates a “color accumulative method” to express the contemporary spirit with the abstract language of color and ink.
According to Hong Bo, he spent almost one year to create this masterpiece. “We have to look at paintings with the vision. Art crosses space and time. I have come out of tradition, and have come to the present day, and it will also extend to the future.” he said in the briefing.
Hong Bo Art show Curator Professor Richard Wearn of California State University Los Angeles said in the statement: “Flowers Fall beyond the Edge of the Sky is the most powerful work produced by one of the leaders of contemporary Chinese Ink Art. It is endowed with a pure beauty that is universal and that is not culturally specific nor dependent upon context. The vertical panels align to create a horizontal metaphysical vista that open the viewer to an amorphous and organic experience that is suggestive of a nebula – a coming to form, as opposed to a predetermined formal organization. “
“Hongbo provides us with a viewing of a space that is relieved of rational limitation, the fluidity of Ink and the absorbent qualities of the ground produce a soaking effect that evoke an aesthetic equivalent of the quantum, somehow capturing the rhizomic distributional nature of our universe. Hongbo has produced a work that is in and of itself – and in so doing presented a universal patterning of energy accumulations and flows. Any form of tradition or system of historic organization is subsumed by a greater universe, that being the inter-relationship of action, resistance and matter. Interchange: Flowers Fall beyond the Edge of the Sky is a work that offers us a tangible configuration of the underlying energies that form our reality. It is pure and potent abstraction, a window onto the morphogenic space that is simultaneously inherent to us and the world around us.”
