Shen Yan, a young man from a small town, has been obsessed with ink painting since he was a child. He accidentally found a half-volume of residual paintings in a second-hand bookstore. The painting showed a quiet stream that he had never seen before. Whenever it rains, he can step into the world in the painting - there are beautiful mountains and clear waters, but there is no one there. Only the color of ink flows, and everything is made of pen and ink.
He met the painting keeper A Jian in the painting. A Jian said that this world was condensed with the hard work of a painter a hundred years ago. Now the spiritual energy is gradually dissipating and is about to collapse. Only by finding the artist's left ink can we preserve this landscape.
Following the clues in the painting, the two walked through spring mountains, summer streams, autumn forests, and winter snow, exploring the truth in the landscapes transformed by pen and ink. Shen Yan gradually discovered that his brushstrokes could repair the damage in the painting, and that A Jian's life experience had a secret of life and death connected with the painter and this ink-colored world...
This is a practice in ink and wash, a meeting in the painting environment. The beginning of the stroke is the landscape, and the end of the stroke is the human heart.
Intention: to keep the original intention with pen and ink, to protect the mountains and rivers with goodwill, and to find oneself and the warmth of the world in the painting environment.
