【Artist Talk】The Contemporary Becoming of Classical Spirit 古典精神的当代生成

​As part of the exhibition Ink Becoming, artist Chen Hanqing joins curator Rick Shi in a conversation exploring how his practice continually generates a contemporary visual language rooted in the dialogue between tradition and the present.

​Using Sentiments Among Flowers and Song of the Great Wind as points of departure, the discussion revisits the evolution of the artist's practice, examining how lived experience, close observation of nature, historical consciousness, and spatial thinking have shaped his artistic language. Together, the speakers will reflect on how contemporary ink painting can continue the spirit of tradition while responding to the realities and sensibilities of our time.

​More than a conversation about painting, this talk is an exploration of becoming itself. As tradition is reimagined not as a boundary but as a point of departure, ink unfolds as a living language—one that continues to evolve, opening new possibilities for contemporary artistic expression.

​在这场围绕《墨生长（Ink Becoming）》展开的对谈中，艺术家陈汉青将与策展人 Rick Shi 共同分享其创作如何在传统与当代之间不断生成新的艺术语言。

​对谈以《花间意》与《大风歌》系列为线索，回望艺术家的创作历程，探讨生命经验、自然观察、历史意识与空间观念如何共同塑造其艺术语言，并进一步思考当代水墨如何在今天延续传统的精神，同时回应当下的时代经验。

​这不仅是一场关于绘画的分享，更是一场关于"生长"的讨论——当传统不再是边界，而成为新的起点，水墨也将在不断生成之中，开启新的可能。
