NTCAM Collection: Encounters in Reflection│303│Hsia Yi-fu│Mountains in Morning Light

**Hsia Yi-fu ** Mountains in Morning Light Ink and color on paper 81x71cm 1991 [The script of this episode] How can one capture the endless expanse of mountain ranges on a single sheet of paper? First, observe the composition of the painting. You'll notice that the entire layout develops upward along the axis of the painting, with layers upon layers of mountains seemingly stretching endlessly into the horizon. The varying shades of ink, from dark to light, cleverly create the undulating peaks, adding depth to the space. With delicate brushwork, Hsia Yi-fu builds up the foliage and trees, layer by layer, giving the mountain a fluffy yet dense appearance, as if a gentle breeze is rustling through the leaves. Next, look at the mist and clouds around the mountainside. The mist seems to flow through the mountain valleys, adding layers of depth to the landscape. Sunlight filters through the mist, illuminating the slopes of the mountains and creating a striking contrast of light and shadow. This not only adds dimensionality to the painting but also enhances its vastness. Hsia Yi-fu captures the ever-changing dynamics of the mountain scene, fully embodying the spirit of oriental ink painting tradition, where emptiness and fullness coexist. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NTCAM Collection: Encounters in Reflection Time│2025/04/25-2025/08/17 Venue│NTCAM: 3A, 3B, 4B Gallery Curator│PAI Shih-ming Co-curator│TSOU Ting Artist│Atelier Hui-kan, HSU Yen-ting, HO Chau-chu, YU Chin-chang, WU Tien-chang, WU LI Yu-ge, WU Hao, WU Mali, LEE Min-jong, LEE Yung-two, LEE Tsai-chien, LEE Chung-chung, LEE Quan-pui, LEE Yih-hong, Idas Losin, LIN Chang-hu, Richard LIN, LIN Chuan-chu, YAO Chung-han, SHIH Tsui-feng, HUNG Tung-piao, HUNG Rui-lin, HU Kun-jung, NI Chiang-huai, TANG Tang-fa, HSIA Yi-fu, YUAN Goang-ming, CHANG Chao-tang, TSONG Pu, LIEN Chien-hsing, CHEN Yueh-li, CHEN I-chun, CHEN Chun-hao, CHEN Shun-chu, FU Chuan-fu, Posak Jodian, HUANG Tsai-sung, HUANG Zan-lun, YANG San-lang, YANG Chi-tung, LIU Wen-wei, CHIANG Jui-keng, CHENG Shang-his, DAI Bih-in, LO Cheng-hsien, LO Huei-ming.
