Original Description
In Zhai Dakun's Scenery, the viewer is transported into a mesmerizing fusion of traditional Chinese aesthetics and contemporary abstraction. Painted during China's '85 New Wave movement—a pivotal era when avant-garde artists reimagined cultural identity—this seminal work exemplifies Zhai's signature "cold abstraction" style. Layers of translucent ink create tectonic landscapes where mountain contours dissolve into ethereal voids, achieving what critic Gao Minglu called "spiritual sedimentation." The monochromatic palette of grayscale with strategic ink splashes evokes both Song Dynasty shan shui traditions and mid-century Western modernism, positioning Zhai as a bridge between Eastern philosophy and global abstraction. Now housed in the M+ Museum's permanent collection, Scenery represents China's critical transition from socialist realism to experimental ink art in the 1980s.
For interiors seeking intellectual depth, frame Scenery in a floating black ash wood frame against light limestone walls to amplify its meditative qualities. Its 120×90cm vertical format suits behind minimalist sofas or office meditation corners, ideally paired with Karl Jensen's PK22 chair in natural oak for material contrast. Layer with celadon ceramic vessels to echo the painting's cool undertones, or introduce a single vibrant element like a Ma Yansong-designed "Shan" table lamp (in oxidized copper) for contemporary tension. In corporate settings, install spotlight track lighting at 30-degree angles to dramatize the ink's textural variations, complementing Eames Aluminum Group meeting chairs. Smaller study editions (60×45cm) work beautifully alongside Richard Serra-esque steel bookends for collectors favoring the "Scholar's Study Modern" aesthetic.
