Leung Kui Ting 梁巨廷
Vision: Change 2 象：易之二
2005
In this installation, an abstract ink painting on black silk hangs on a wall like a scroll painting, with the bottom resting on the floor. A brown silk cloth is installed behind the painting, forming a skewed, asymmetrical cross. A piece of wood on the floor leans against the brown silk, at the right corner, which features black ink marks. This is one of several installations from Leung Kui Ting’s Vision series, which combines silk and wood. The series is part of the artist’s ‘effects’ period, begun after 2000, which consolidates his experiments from the 1960s, when he challenged and integrated classical Chinese and modern Western art. In his ‘effects’ period, Leung reinterpreted Chinese landscape paintings, often using geometric lines and forms that recall the architecture of a city, and at times producing works that are intended to be viewed from above or from a distance. Here, Leung experiments with ideas of geometry beyond the painting, through its relationship with other materials and objects. The angled nature of the work and the extension of the ink painting to the ground requires the viewer to move around it, creating an awareness of the way the installation occupies three-dimensional space.
