Huang Jing's landscapes reveal restrained spontaneity and introversion. The spirit soars boldly through the murky clouds and fog. The forms of plants, mountains, rivers and trees are intentionally rendered in a flat manner, distilled as pure symbols used to aid the rhythm of vision and color. The beautiful silhouettes of women are intertwined with lotus flower imagery, and the pure grey tone seems to be shrouded in a misty air. The Landscapes with Windows series thrusts the landscapes into window frames, lending them a sense of being from the other side, so close yet seemingly unreachable, like gazing at the moon through a skylight, revealing the limitations of the present self.
