The Artistry of Ink and Wash Paintings

                          --An Exploration of the Ethereal Beauty of Zhou’s Landscape Ink Paintings

The beauty in artistic conception lies at the core of beauty in form. Characterized by elegant painting style and novel painting composition, Zhou’s works emanate a sense of simplicity and freedom. Vivid and well-arranged, Zhou’s works speak eloquently to his artistic attainments and present the beauty of natural scenery to the full. Enjoying his works, you will feel at ease physically and mentally, totally immersed in calm and tranquility. You will also feel your spirit purified once you understand the Buddhist sense in the paintings.

Created in a natural way, the landscape paintings seem to break away from the mundane world and thus highlight the elegant, ethereal and serene atmosphere. Savoring the Buddhist sense in his paintings can make you feel that you’re staying on a pure land created by pious Buddhism followers.
