About the artwork

It is in the abstraction of this calligraphic mastery one wonders what this piece means. It is the mixture of Chinese ink and calligraphic technique that this timeless piece makes its way to the contemporary art scene. Hong wishes to revive the classical calligraphy from China but retains a modern sensibility by experimenting with paper pulp to create pigmented ink, thus reinventing the wheel of the old.
