Traditional Chinese painters aimed at capturing the inner essence of the visual form through the rhythmic movement of their brushstroke on silk or paper, attuned to transmit the invisible forces of the universe – the Tao that pervades the world that we inhabit. The paintings reveal the workings of the Tao through the vitality and expressiveness of their brushstrokes and the harmonious rhythm of composition.
