The serene color system and fascinating strokes lend his paintings a scholarly temperament and poetic beauty.
Roaming of Brush and Ink, He's solo exhibition at the China National Academy of Painting's museum until Feb 28, shows his dozens of ink paintings which offer a perspective into his spiritual world and also pay tribute to the richness of the mind and soul of ancient Chinese scholars.
