While Chang adheres to literati painting’s principle of handling the brushwork in a balanced and centered manner, he sometimes breaks away from the limitations of traditional compositional structure. In 2010, Chang was invited to study the Boston Museum of Fine Art’s collection and create a painting that was exhibited in dialogue with Jackson Pollock’s No.10 (1949). This work, which has no defined orientation and can be viewed from any direction, continues Chang’s analysis of abstraction derived from both Chinese literati painting and Abstract Expressionism, manifesting the grandeur of landscape through the dynamic balance of water, ink, brushwork, and linear rhythm.
艺术策展人和中国画鉴赏专家張洪(1954年出生)在早年接受了传统文人画的训练。虽然張洪坚持文人画的中庸平衡之道,但他有时会突破传统构图结构的限制。在2010年,他受邀研究波士顿美术馆的收藏,并创作了一幅与杰克逊·波洛克的《No.10(1949)》对话的画作。这件作品,可从任何视角观看,不仅延续了他对源自中国文人画和抽象表现主义的抽象提炼,而且通过水、墨、笔法和线性节奏的动态平衡,展现了山水画的宏伟。
