…Making color and line
come together in peaceful poetry…
I want to create water, mountains
and forests that sing and dance
with brilliant color.

By presenting the beauty and serenity he finds in nature, Yiqian Shu reveals its spirituality.

He writes, “As I wander through this fascinating world, woven with the rhythm of color, I wish to explore the heavenly beauty of nature that I treasure within my heart,” he writes, “Driven by the light of the sun, I use my emotions, wisdom and skills to make color and line come together in peaceful poetry. I want to create water, mountains and forests that sing and dance with brilliant color. The blazing sun’s power gives me everlasting inspiration, and I hope to express all that is within my heart.”

In a world where peace is increasingly hard to come by, the moving art of Yiqian Shu provides an oasis of tranquility. Experience it for yourself at Gallery One.
