Li Xin's
abstraction is manifested in his exquisite rendering of the textures
of mountains and trees. Here, chains of mountains become the body
of the metaphysical spirit, encompassing a vast and relentless
internal power. Sometimes the sense of mass is no longer important;
the heaviness recedes into the distance with the clamorous uproar,
while the solemn and heavy grey tones are brimming with the primordial
essence of the mountains and rivers, giving a sense of the bizarre
powers of timelessness within the stillness. The forcefulness
of Li Xin's work reminds people of the Five Dynasties
and Two Songs landscape style embodied in Fan Kuan's
Travelling Through Xishan: a remote, desolate, tranquil
and mysterious land like the stillness at the dawn of time.
