Tai Xiangzhou's "Milky Way" series embodies a serene yet chaotic essence. The ink washes blend like vast clouds, while the revealed waterfalls and rivers pulse with life. In the artist’s view, the Milky Way symbolizes the distant and the ethereal. The stars provide guidance to human activities in the same way as rivers carry life into the distant shore; one mosaic the sky while the other demarcates the ground; together, they give order and construct our world.


In his works, Tai subverts the structural framework of traditional Chinese ink paintings. His expressive brushworks reiterate the rhythm to traditional landscapes, while the composition’s impenetrable abstractness envisions the primordial state of the universities. The artist claims, “The object of my painting is water, but what I conceive is the wave.” Modern technology disclosed that human observation of the world consists of waves constantly in motion. The artist also envisions his imagination of the world and the university through the philosophy of the waves. Fully leveraging on the expressive quality of the Xieyi method of traditional Chinese painting, he meditates on how ink metamorphs on paper, attempting to observe the interconnectedness of time and the harmonious resonance among matters.


泰祥洲的《银河》系列处于一种静谧而又混沌的状态,墨色晕染好似苍茫云气互相交融,同时其中透露出的瀑布江河又充满生命地流水游龙。银河在艺术家看来象征着虚无缥缈的远方,与其对应的是地上的河流,星河相印,天地分野,由此同构世界。泰祥洲用写意的笔墨颠覆传统水墨的结构框架,不仅展现山水气韵,更在墨韵黑白之间,遥想宇宙初始的原始状态。正如艺术家强调,“画的物质是水,但思维里是波。”现代科技揭露人类观测到的物质都是以波的形式成象,并且波代表着一种持续的时间性;而艺术家对于世界和宇宙的遐想也基于波的观念,通过写意画法充分展现画面的变化,试图观测时间的串联性和物质之间气韵相通。
