Description
空
Emptiness
This calligraphy is intuitively brushstroked with 60 years of experience by calligraphy master Cheng Jin-fa 郑进发. Its principle is to not let the mind interfere when drawing the lines, and infuse the art with qi, aliveness and vitality. As Jin-fa so often stresses, do not think, and calligraphic art is to be felt, and not dependent on its readability.
