After the solo exhibition at Tokyo Gallery + BTAP in Beijing last year, this is his second solo exhibition in our gallery and will be exhibiting his recent 20 landscape paintings.

In the ancient China, there is a proverb that 'The sky is broad but it is looked small through a pipe. The ground is wide but a person can prick it with a gimlet.', which means a size of a thing can be changed in terms of a perspective. Wu Qiang was inspired it and has worked with a belief that detailed observation is connected to a whole story. The title of the exhibition 'Limited view, Unlimited Implications' is also derived from that.

Wu Qiang's landscape expresses the deep sky in his ordered and detailed style. There is an extension of a sprit painted on canvas and brush stroke, use of ink stick, technique and the composition of a picture reflect his attitude to keep tradition and attraction of the traditional ink-and-wash painting. Also, as adding a beauty of Japanese traditional garden to it, he is developing a possibility of contemporary ink-and-wash painting. His creativity is that delivering own aesthetic sense and ideal via objective description to the viewers.
