지두화 산수 (열두 폭 중 하나)
🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING

"What newness opens when we set aside a familiar tool?"

📝ONGO's Reflection

This is a finger-painting landscape by the Chinese painter Gao Qipei, one of twelve scenes painted not with a brush but with the fingers. The bold experiment of Chinese painting is held in it, yet its spirit rings true in any land. In this painting I see the courage to break the mold. When one sets down the brush, that self-evident tool, and handles the ink directly with the fingers, an unforeseen texture and vitality are born. To discard the familiar way looks clumsy, but from there comes an expression no one else could draw. Newness begins in doubting the familiar.
