The tree branches extend and transform, flowing through the air with a cosmic elegance. A subtle waterfall can be discerned in the middle ground, adding a hidden layer of depth to the composition. The colors of the tree are dominated by warm red and orange hues, reminiscent of autumn, while the background is enhanced with transparent blue and delicate ink washes. Other trees, rendered in semi-transparent shades, contribute to the ethereal atmosphere. Chang creates a personal autumn scene that exudes an organic, lively energy, imbued with a dynamic force that captures both the essence of nature and the infinite, as if the sound of autumn is heard throughout the scene.
在張洪的这幅立轴中,一棵崎岖古树从画面右下角生长而出,到画面中段逐渐优雅地演变成抽象但又壮丽的形态,其树枝悠然地在空中延伸和变换。画面中景一条隐约的瀑布为构图增添层次感,以红色和橙色为主的古木令人联想到秋天,而清透的蓝和细腻的水墨增强了背景的视觉效果,同时远景中若隐若现的树木也为画面增添了空灵的氛围。艺术家创造了一个他眼中的生机盎然的秋景,既捕捉到了大自然的本质,又体现了无限的意境,仿佛能置身画面中听闻秋天的声籁。
