Responding to the spirit of Eastern landscape painting through an abstract visual language, Liu Jiutong creates compositions that drift between presence and absence, movement and stillness. This delicate equilibrium reveals a state that is at once seemingly empty and profoundly ordered. Fluid brushwork and successive washes envelop the canvas in veils of mist, allowing forms to emerge and dissolve in a continuous rhythm of becoming.

“Where no form appears, perfect harmony still resides;

 Where a solitary wisp of smoke rises, there is a human dwelling.”

—Su Shi, Song Dynasty poet
