Artist Statement:
This portfolio contains
paintings and brush drawings
showing movements and postures
of the Tai Chi Chuan form. It
is
addressed not only to those
who study and practice Tai
Chi, but also to the
contemplative spirit of
everyone.
The artist is trying to
transfer his understanding and
feel of the Tai Chi movement
and posture onto a paper or
canvas
and dissolve the divide
between the practice of Tai
Chi and the practice of
painting.
In each picture there is an
attempt to convey the
essential essence of a
particular posture. Each
movement is a fusion,
a merging of the bodily, the
psychic, and the mental
dimensions.
The name of each posture has a
pictorial character. It
provides a description and
functions as a symbol. Some of
the
names evoke the movement of
animals. The unbiased
observation of the animal
kingdom informed the
development
of Chinese Yoga and Martial
Arts and greatly influenced
the shape of the movement. The
Taoist masters of the past
believed that through
observing all natural
phenomena, they could
understand the essential
patterns of energy in the
world.
The artist feels - when his
pictures have taken form and
his Tai Chi practice of
postures and movements ...
