Tai Xiangzhou, Tranquil Waters, Reflective Mind 澄水为鉴, 2025

Tai Xiangzhou’s latest series represents an evolution in his artistic practice, blending the fluid expressiveness of ink with the textured depth of oil on canvas. Moving beyond his traditional silk medium, this shift allows for a heightened sense of materiality while maintaining the ethereal, cosmic themes that have long defined his work. Rooted in classical shan-shui (mountain-water) aesthetics and inspired by Daoist cosmology, his new works continue to explore the dynamic interplay of substance and emptiness, movement and stillness, the terrestrial and the celestial.In this series, Tai deepens his inquiry into the macro and microcosmic forces that govern existence. His compositions evoke celestial formations, nebulous landscapes, and the ephemeral nature of water and clouds. The titles of the works—such as “通其微妙” (Understanding the Subtle and Profound), “水广心气宽” (Water Vast, Heart Expansive), and “玉润而有光” (Jade Glows with Luster)—hint at themes of transformation, fluidity, and illumination. Through layers of ink and oil, Tai constructs atmospheric scenes where mist and water merge with cosmic phenomena, suggesting a vision of the universe as an interconnected, breathing entity.

泰祥洲的《银河》系列的最新作品标志着其艺术实践的进一步演进，在创作媒介上大胆突破，将水墨的流动性与油彩的层次感结合，转向布面这一更具肌理的载体。这一转变不仅拓宽了他的表现形式，也赋予作品更丰富的物质感，同时延续了他一贯的宇宙观主题。植根于中国传统山水画美学，并深受道家宇宙观的启发，这些新作依然探索着物与虚、动与静、尘世与天境之间的动态关联。在这一系列中，泰祥洲深化了对宇宙运行机制与微观宏观世界的探讨。他的画面唤起星云变幻、云水弥漫的景象，呈现出水的流动性与苍穹的深邃感。《通其微妙》、《水广心气宽》、《玉润而有光》等作品标题，均隐含着关于变化、流动与光明的思考。通过水墨与油彩的层层交融，他构筑出似是而非的氤氲意象，让雾霭、水波与天体现象交融，仿佛整个宇宙都在呼吸和流转。
