Songs and Hymns
soar to the Heavens
This moment fills me
intoxicates me
I surrender myself to wanderlust
The above is a rough translation of the Chinese writing in the painting. This style is called the "grass style" or "sloppy style" of the Chinese cursive writing.
This flowing style of calligraphy matches quite nicely with the very raw and bold form of interpretation of a bird. No attempt was made to hide or ameliorate the brush strokes. This really is the essence of the Xieyi style of Chinese brush painting......concrete thoughts, but free brushes.
Good or bad, let it all hang out
