Auspicious Realms
Concept
Auspicious Realms symbolizes a space imbued with harmony and blessings. The exhibition is rooted in the Feng Shui principle of "accumulating wind and gathering energy," interpreted through artistic depictions of natural landscapes, animal maternal bonds, and dynamic light and shadow. Feng Shui emphasizes the flow and balance of energy, perfectly aligning with the compositional principles in art. Zeng’s works reflect the grandeur of mountains, the tranquility of flowing water, and the interplay of light and shadow, resonating with the Feng Shui concept of "mountains embracing rivers." These elements are designed to convey auspicious meanings of prosperity and fortune. Zeng’s use of color is both deliberate and profound: gold symbolizes wealth and brightness, red conveys joy and vitality, while green and blue evoke a sense of stability and vibrancy. These visual elements blend seamlessly within his creations, forming dynamic yet harmonious textures and artistic narratives. Each piece becomes a celebration of natural life and a profound interpretation of human emotions.
Since 2021, the global pandemic has influenced Zeng Qiwen to focus more deeply on themes of emotional continuity and cherishing connections. His inspiration is drawn from the maternal bonds and interactions among animals, which he brings to life with meticulous brushwork and the layered richness of pigment. The gazes, cuddles, and interactions of his animal subjects exude profound emotional power, while his use of light and shadow amplifies this flow of emotion, extending the warmth of familial love and romance throughout the exhibition space. Through his art, viewers are invited to experience a sense of care and resonance.
Auspicious Realms is a dialogue between art and philosophy, and a gift of emotion and blessings. Zeng Qiwen’s unique creative language seamlessly weaves the wisdom of Feng Shui with human sentiment, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty of art and the profundity of life’s philosophy. In this serene and auspicious artistic realm, you are invited to embark on a journey of the soul, discovering the warmth of emotions and the strength of happiness.
