+ OVERVIEW

The artistic conception of the landscape has always been the part of the ancient literati's life philosophy. It is a portrayal of human nature and a homeland for the soul. In the past 10 years, the society has experienced ups and downs, encountering joy and sorrow. Rong Zimin chose the idea of "the heart is self-biased", concentrating on learning Chinese painting, and inheriting the tradition; the message of his works is to transfer the social mundane irritability to the quiet mind, and the invisible spiritual realm in the visible landscape. The artist loves traveling to the mountains and rivers, looking for the sounds of natural scenes, slowing down his pace for careful observation, leisurely documenting what he sees through photography and sketching, which later become the inspiration for his ink creation. The work "Spring Equinox" is one of his Empath Series of works. The scenery in the painting is like a fairyland out of this world. However, it is not a secluded, non-existent paradise, but a beautiful place that the world can set foot on. It depicts the waterfalls between the hills, which is also a continuation of his love for "water". The artist believes that the hill is an established thing. Another feature is that the water and the waterfall are everywhere. Rong believes that our world is surrounded by many upward-growing objects, such as buildings, mountains, trees, etc., but the water is flowing downwards. Providing nutrients for all things quietly, not competing with other things. Flowing water can penetrate the rock without being subjected to time constraints, quietly matching the laws of nature. It is beautiful and eternal. We live in a fast-moving society, and we may need to slow down and express our feelings for a moment of silence.
