Thin Spring Clouds over the South Peak of Yushan
玉山南峰薄春雲
2020 | Watercolor on paper 水彩、紙 ｜101.5 x 153 cm
The profound textures of rocks in the foreground highlights the lavish green in the background. Betwixt the thin and thick, the subject and object, the loose and tense, and the light and dark, the color gamut, structures, and layers clear in rhythm are reconciled. The small flying birds subtly inserted in the right give prominence to the magnificent sublimity of the mountain view.
以前景的深刻岩層肌理，襯托遠景的綠意昂然。在疏密、主客、鬆緊和明暗之間，調和出節奏分明的色域與結構層次。畫面右側渺小而隱約的飛鳥，突顯山石景緻的浩然壯闊。
White Clouds Amidst the Black and Grey
黑灰之間的白雲
2021 | Watercolor on Paper 水彩、紙｜57 x 76 cm
With gouache, acrylic pigments, masking fluid, and wet washing as well as dry wiping, the saturation of hues is reduced to almost black, white, and grey only. The magnificent, resolute mountain rocks, in contrast while in complementary to the warm, airy clouds, make a captivating view altogether.
以不透明水彩、壓克力顏料、留白膠與濕洗乾擦，色相彩度降低到幾乎只留黑白灰。雄壯、堅硬險峻的山塊，對比柔暖、虛無輕盈的煙雲，魅力無窮，相得益彰。
The Immense Snow Peak 雪嶽無界
2021 | Watercolor on Paper 水彩、紙｜76 x 112 cm
The work is derived from a mountain of the Rocky Mountains in the North America topped with snow. It appears magnificent and immense with the contrast of the light and dark, whereby the awe of the insignificant humanity in the face of the magnificent nature is fully demonstrated.
取景自北美洛磯山脈積雪濃厚的高山，在光影的對照下顯得崇高雄偉、無邊無際，也表現渺小的人類面對偉大的自然，心生的敬畏之情。
