上海 張園

This is a dynamic art piece that skillfully integrates the four traditional arts: guqin (a traditional Chinese string instrument), chess, calligraphy, and painting, showcasing the profound heritage of Chinese culture. The work is situated in an exquisite indoor space, cleverly incorporating outdoor elements of a garden landscape to create a harmonious atmosphere.

The entire piece is composed of four sections, each symbolizing one of the artistic forms: guqin, chessboard, calligraphy, and painting. Each section not only represents its respective art form but also presents a unique visual style. Viewers can experience the elegant rhythms of the guqin, the strategic gameplay of the chessboard, the fluid brushstrokes of calligraphy, and the vibrant colors of painting through each part.

The design of the work showcases the enchanting garden scenery from a forward to backward perspective, allowing viewers to discover different visual surprises as they explore. Each section forms its own corner, inviting people to savor the charm of the garden landscape and feel the harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor scenery.
