Solitude: An Ink Painting Exhibition by Gui Zhao Hai

Gui Zhao Hai

Organised by Asia Art Collective, Solitude presents a selection of twenty fine works of the contemporary Chinese ink master Gui Zhao Hai’s signature series of the Sichuan-Tibetan mountain-scapes.

Gui Zhao Hai’s unique oeuvre emerges from his personal philosophy and affinity with the Sichuan highlands, where he repeatedly travels into. Using his paintings to illustrate his ideals of purity, kindness, beauty and respect for nature, Gui has masterfully captured the sublime presence of nature, composed with the towering monumental mountainscapes, and combined with stark contrasts between light and darkness – evoking man’s contemplation and respect for nature.

Solitude is running from 5 to 18 March 2016 at Visual Arts Centre from 11am to 8pm daily. Admission is free.

Gary is one of those proverbial jack of all trades… you know the rest. When not writing about lifestyle and culture, he dabbles in photography, graphic design, plays four instruments and is a professional wearer of bowties. His greatest weakness: spending more money on clothes than he probably should. Find him across the social world as @grimlay
