Gao Xingjian- the first Chinese recipient of the 2000 Nobel Prize in Literature for his superior talents as a novelist and painter. “Midwinter” was created during the current atmosphere to reflect the artists’ state of mind. The changing ink blended into a grand land with lonesome branches in the white to embellish the picture has created a tension within this metaphoric artwork. Regardless the viewers see it as a drop in the ocean or a lonesome feeling, the artist portraits a firm yet airy; surreal yet real feeling. Gao Xingjian’s water-ink artwork comes with the beauty of description literature which emotions moves along with the environment and from the heart. The natural scenery is tranquil and brings out the delicate and sensitive mind and also the detached yet sophisticated value towards life.
