\u201cSeeing you amidst the dreams where flowers flourish, yet please don\u2019t mourn the withered flowers when you wake.\u201d<\/p>\n

As one of the most distinguished poets in Taiwanese literature, Hsu Hui-chih\u2019s devotion to ink art since 2017 has attracted attention from different fields. Apart from the invitation from Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Hsu\u2019s works have also been shown in various art fairs and exhibitions in Taiwan and overseas, where they proved to be highly in demand.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The exhibition \u201cFlourishing Amidst Dreams \u2013 Hsu Hui-chih\u2019s Ink Art\u201d will unveil several new works by Hsu which had not been on public display. They represent literati characteristics such as poetry, calligraphy, painting, seals and framing. From \u201ca poet\u2019s sentiments\u201d, \u201cthe wisdom of Buddhism\u201d,\u201cliterati emotionalism\u201d, to \u201cbeyond appearances\u201d, Hsu Hui-chih bases his art on literature, Buddhist philosophy, classical art and explores unconventional techniques, creating fine works in ink.<\/p>\n

The title of the exhibition \u201cFlourishing Amidst Dreams\u201d taken from his poem of the same title, can be seen as a metaphor to the path of life, questioning the existence of the world. As a literati, artist and collector, Hsu Hui-chih\u2019s art reflect on his observation of the world as well as his disciplined character. His ability to combine the material and the spiritual worlds enables him to create unorthodox and highly characteristic works using ink as the key medium.<\/p>\n
