The post Wu Chi-Tsung Uses Rice Paper to Create Stunning Landscapes appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>Chi-Tsung creates these unusual artworks by covering wrinkled rice papers with photosensitive coating. The papers are then exposed to the sun to bring out the lightning and shading. Finally, the artist organizes the papers into coherent groups and mounts them on canvas. Brought together, the pieces look like massive paintings.
As a final touch, Chi-Tsung applies white acrylic to increase the depth of the scenery.
“They could be anything, because they are not representing any real landscape,” Chi-Tsung explained in a chat with Ocula magazine. “This is the spirit of a Chinese landscape.”
Chi-Tsung, who splits his time between Tapei, Taiwan and Berlin, Germany, is engaged in various other media photography, videography, and set design. Through his works, he aims to combine the “traditions and contemporary art forms from the East and the West.” Among things that inspire him are “daily objects and phenomena,” which he enjoys turning “into poetic imagery.”

]]>But while her creative stimulation can be found in the mundanities of everyday life, her artistic creation is rooted in the natural world in all its richness and transcendence. Born in Rhode Island and based in New York’s beautiful Hudson Valley, Edlund is very much taken by the natural world and its inhabitants, which she explores on canvas.
“The natural world compels me to explore it, delve deeper into it, and use the tools at my disposal to paint some frisson of my visceral connection to it,” she writes. She treats her art as a sort of metaphorical bride that communicates her ideas to others. “All of my work is a communication between me and you, inviting you to create your own narrative within the context of the art and to experience the art in a positive and satisfying way,” she writes, inviting us viewers further inside her realistic landscapes.
Her landscapes, painted in vivid colors and striking detail, might be mistaken at first for photographs. It’s only upon further inspection that her brushstrokes can be discerned. Take a careful look.
