The edges of the dyed paper naturally absorb the ink, forming subtle, flowing lines—traces of time quietly inscribed on the surface, much like the patina of an ancient scroll. A perforated black sheet in the upper right echoes a blue fragment in the lower left—one dark, one light; one heavy, one airy—creating a dialogue between foreground and background that invites quiet reflection. Within these delicate layers, one might glimpse the outlines of distant peaks, the winding course of a river, or the passage of time itself.
Liang Quan skillfully wields the organic texture and absorptive nature of xuan paper, employing the techniques of collage, pressing, tearing, and dyeing to transcend the traditional confines of ink painting. By layering complexity while embracing emptiness, he evokes a sense of wu (void), reflecting the essence of Eastern aesthetics and the vastness of possibility. His deep understanding of materials and innovative techniques push the boundaries of ink art, forging a unique path where tradition and contemporary vision meet in quiet harmony.
梁铨的这件作品以灰蓝色为主调,条状宣纸层层叠叠,仿佛山水间的雾气缭绕,又似大地上的沟壑纵横。染色后的宣纸边缘自然凝聚墨色,形成若隐若现的线条,如同岁月在纸上悄然流淌的痕迹。画面右上角的黑色打孔纸张与左下角的蓝色片段遥相呼应,一深一浅,一重一轻,仿佛在空间中拉开了一幕前景与背景的对话,引人遐想。观者或许能从中窥见远山的轮廓、流水的蜿蜒,抑或是时间的绵延与沉淀。
梁铨利用宣纸的粗粝质感与染色特性,通过拼贴与压制以撕碎、染色的手法,将传统水墨的线条与墨韵转化为一种现代而抽象的诗意语言。他以“以繁驭简”的智慧,通过细节的堆砌与留白的巧妙运用,营造出一种“空”的境界,既是对东方美学的致敬,也是对无限可能性的哲思。对材料的深刻理解与创新运用,不仅突破了传统水墨的边界,更在东西方美学的交汇处,开辟了一条独特而深邃的艺术路径。
