A massive mountain takes center stage in this artwork, its majesty heightened by cascading waterfalls and evergreen pines. The artist's skillful brushwork meticulously conveys this imposing peak's formidable and rugged character. Among the towering trees, scattered dwellings invite us into this enchanting haven. It is a piece that beautifully juxtaposes grandiosity and intimacy.
Navigating the serene terrains of Hou Xiantang's paintings, the audience finds itself transported beyond the mundane. Hou employs a distinct M-shaped brush stroke that lends an intriguing blend of vitality and enigma to the mountainous landscapes he presents as his ultimate "hidden paradise." This technique affords remarkable versatility, layering strokes to evoke towering, rugged mountains or employing a softer touch to suggest lush, dense forests.
Ink-wash painting, unlike oil, lacks the benefit of coverage and opacity. One single misplaced stroke has the power to disrupt the entire artistic pursuit. There is no such thing as white ink; all white spaces are deliberate omissions on the paper. This juxtaposition of reserved white spaces—depicting clouds, mist, ripples, and streams—demands a high level of proficiency with the brush and a heightened awareness of aesthetics.
