元 倪瓚 江渚風林圖 軸
"What does the dry tree by the empty riverbank silently endure?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This Chinese landscape by Ni Zan is an utterly spare surface, setting only a few dry trees by a deserted riverbank. His brush, which takes away rather than fills, makes even loneliness clear. In the place where all excess has been emptied, a deep spirit instead dwells. He held more not by painting much but by painting little. Emptying is not lack but choice. Only one who knows how to take away can leave clearly what truly matters.
