Mu Jiashan: Expanding the Horizons of Burnt-Ink Landscape Painting
The seminar highlighted Mu Jiashan’s significant contributions to contemporary Chinese landscape painting, particularly his innovative use of burnt-ink techniques. His work is described as expanding the expressive space and formal context of this conventional art form. the seminar’s core idea,encapsulated in the phrase “In black ink,there are circles of ink,and in black ink,the world is wide,” underscores the profound potential within this seemingly limited medium.

Tian Liming (Former President of the China Academy of Art,Honorary President of the Chinese Academy of Painting,and Chairman of the Chinese Artists Association):
Jiashan’s black and white landscapes present an ethereal and simple aesthetic ideal,creating a new context for burnt-ink landscapes through the interplay of brushwork and ink understanding. his work expresses a rich and nuanced meaning, embodying the golden mean principle central to traditional Chinese thought. Jiashan grasps the essence of this principle and transforms it into his unique burnt-ink method. He pursues traditional aesthetic concepts within the realm of burnt-ink landscapes, perceiving the aesthetic sensibilities of the times. His works articulate timeless space and existence through the language of jiao mo (burnt ink) landscape, forging a new context, enriching the discourse, and constructing his own mental landscape with pure jiao mo propositions.

Li Yi (Ph.D. supervisor at China Academy of Art, former editor-in-chief of “Art Observation” magazine):
He employs a dry rubbing technique, using the brush to create subtle ink tones. The presence of moisture isn’t from wet painting methods, but rather achieved through dry rubbing to express lightness. This is a distinctive innovation of Mu Jiashan.Pushing the boundaries of Chinese painting creation is a challenging endeavor, and mu Jiashan’s accomplishments are particularly noteworthy.
