Beyond ink: China's young neotraditionalist artists
2013
Overview
The concept of Chinese ink art is not solely defined by the materials and tools used; it also refers to an entire aesthetic and cultural system. In the previous issue of 'ArtAsiaPacific' (Issue 85, Sep/Oct), I discussed how young ink painters from mainland China - particularly those born after 1970 - are finding their own voices in the traditional tools of ink and brush. Yet there are also young artists who are meaningfully referencing the age-old \"ink aesthetic\" through the use of new artistic media and techniques, exploring the possibility of the transformation, extension and reconstruction of a time-honored genre within a postmodern context. Numerous contemporary artists allude to traditional Chinese pictorial and calligraphic concepts in their visual vocabulary, but there are far fewer artists whose work suggests a conscientious effort to engage with and transform this ancient Chinese art form as a defining feature of their artistic vision.
