Lot Essay

By gently layering thin washes of translucent watercolours on top of each other, Huang Dan gracefully depicts the converging forces in the universe by employing the accumulated ink technique. Layers of unmodulated colours form a weighty shade of blue that occupies a substantial area on the canvas. The mountain ranges in the distance can still be faintly deciphered. Situated amongst an enormous body of water and towering mountains, the lonesome boat and drinking horses look even more insignificant. By examining the details in the painting, one can see that the artist is completely at peace with nature.
