Cutting-edge Taiwanese artist Wu Chi-tsung transgresses artistic boundaries with his original multimedia installations involving video, still photography and machinery, adroit fusions of classical and vanguard thought in media that deftly skirt the line between the new and the conventional. His explorations along a brand new avenue known as “Now Ink” have created significant buzz among both foreign and domestic art circles.
Although “Landscape in the Mist No. 1” is a video piece, it is highly indicative of the artist's thoughts on Eastern art, interjecting a little individualist imagination amidst the fluid lines and misty mountaintops of a traditional ink wash landscape and successfully conveying the tranquil mood and surroundings of the literati landscape painting.
