Returning Home at Dusk (暮歸圖)

This work titled "Returning Home at Dusk" is a landscape painting that deeply embraces traditional styles while incorporating a modern artistic expression. The painting depicts a person returning home along a mountain path at dusk. The artist uses traditional ink painting techniques, utilizing moist ink tones and flowing strokes to convey the texture of the rocks and the depth of the space. The delineation and shading of the mountains not only depict the massiveness of the mountains but also capture the hazy beauty of dusk. Moreover, the trees among the rocks are highlighted with darker ink strokes, adding layers and vivacity. The composition of the painting carefully considers depth and balance. By contrasting the distant and near mountains and varying the spatial arrangement, it creates an engaging visual flow. The figures and house at the bottom of the painting serve as the focal point, guiding the viewer's gaze deeper into the scenery, thus enhancing the narrative and emotional expression of the work.
