Wang Fangyu strove to perfect his calligraphy through an understanding of the Dao or “The Way.” He embraced both Tiandao (the way of nature) and shudao (the way of the brush) in his artistic practice. The artist’s reverence for something he called the “unbalanced balance” in nature was an important source of inspiration throughout his career. In his calligraphy, the overall balance in this character was achieved by changing the speed and tension in the brushstrokes. This approach allowed him to convey the dynamic interplay between movement and stillness, reflecting the philosophical concept of balance that pervades Daoism. The dynamic background complements the character, creating a sense of the Dao as if it were floating within the universe. This visual representation serves as a profound interpretation of Daoist principles, capturing the essence of how the Dao permeates all aspects of existence. Furthermore, while Wang Fangyu’s work is deeply rooted in East Asian philosophical traditions, it also aligns with the gallery’s notion of providing audiences with a sense of tranquility.


王方宇通过对“道”的体悟,臻于书法的完美之境。他在艺术实践中融合了天道(自然之道)和书道(笔墨之道)。他毕生遵循被其称作“不平衡的平衡”的自然之道,以此作为灵感的重要来源。此作中全部平衡的达至,源自笔速的变化和富有张力的笔势。这种方法使他能够传达动与静之间的相互作用,反映了道家哲学中贯穿始终的平衡概念。充满动态的背景与字体相辅相成,营造出一种道在宇宙中漂浮的感觉。这种视觉表现深刻诠释了道教原则,捕捉到了道无处不在的精髓。此外,王方宇的作品虽然深深根基于东亚哲学传统,但也与画廊为观众提供宁静感的理念相契合。
