WHAT IS INK PAINTING - "SUIBOKU-GA" |
|
"Suiboku-ga" of Eastern culture is an art harmonized with ink, water and whiteness of paper.
Only the combination of the right brush stroke technique with right amount of water can produce gradation of ink, strong and soft shading as well as dry and wet touch,
which expresses all the colors, texture and movements onto white papers. It has to be done very quickly,
without any sketches nor drafting. There is no such "re-drawing"
in "Suiboku-ga", but it needs to be one-time stroke directly onto papers,
which requires a strong concentration and tension. Therefore, it expresses the artist's
emotion and internal sensitivity most directly and enhances spirituality
of this art. When you are completely innocent spiritually and being able to let everything
go and free yourselves, the outcome work will be purer and freer. You may encounter something unexpected
completely out of your creative instinct. This could also be achieved by years of training.
