The work”Boats Passed Thousands Mount” is a perfect example of Pang Jiun’s ingenious approach to landscape painting. Here, hills of branches set in the foreground correspond to the background’s mountains which seem to float in fog and mist of layers so thick the viewer is immersed in the scene. Steeped in deep grey tones, the work presents a sort of visual illusion. While the image has an overall subtlety, poetically it is rich, which allows the viewer to sink further and further inside. And the artist’s ingenious way of balancing techniques borrowed from different painting traditions, on display here, is what truly sets Pang Jiun’s oil painting apart from the rest.
