POST WINGS

This work features light and agile brushwork, capturing the essence of the wind. The grass in the foreground is rendered with quick, dry strokes, and the overlapping ink colors convey the fleeting dynamism of the wind sweeping across the fields. In the distance, the sea surface and a solitary boat are depicted in pale teal and gray-blue, creating a sense of silent solitude. Zhao Erdai is adept at employing the brush technique of "stillness within movement," allowing natural imagery to serve as a reflection of inner feelings. The painting lacks complex structures, yet contains profound elegance and rhythm within its simplicity. This tiny boat seems to symbolize himself—moving between heaven and earth, carried by the wind, free from constraints, just as he said: "Art does not have to be for anyone, only for a moment of freedom."
