[Holding Stone in the Wind and Rain Hall｜The Inkstone Waves Break the Paper and the Crazy Soul of Chu] This scroll embodies the essence of Master Ruilin's "broken tip and scattered brushstrokes." The mountainous landscape surges like the miasma of Ba-Yu, permeating the paper like celestial script. The splashing rain marks fuse with the mineral colors of Tang Dynasty Dunhuang, creating a modern and mysterious style. Xuan paper undergoes a secret process of nine alums and eight dyes, and the pine smoke and hailstones evoke the principle of "wind and thunder cast in ink" in the "Evolution of Chinese Painting." The meticulous imitation technique achieves the exacting precision of "Vajra Slope," with each stroke honed over twenty years of wandering through Dongchuan. Compared to conventional landscape reproductions, this scroll reveals the brushwork of Master Shitao. More than a mere transfer of the forms of the mountains and forests, it is a connoisseur-level paper that blends the ethereal beauty of Japanese Nanga painting with the poignant spirit of Qu Yuan's "Li Sao." It captures the true meaning of wind and rain in the vein of this contemporary masterpiece, "Drizzling Evening Rain." Material: Rice paper Mounting size: 202x86 cm Painting core size: 136x66 cm
