This collection of over 60 ink paintings by Gao Xingjian represents his philosophy and painting style. Gao believes that the world cannot be explained and that artistic creation offers the only way to escape into meaning. The images convey these aspects of an inexplicable world -- the black-and-white inner world that underlies the complexity of human existence. Drawn in traditional Chinese black ink on rice paper, each painting is characterised by a spontaneous overflow of the ink, creating metaphorical abstract images.Gao, Xingjian is the author of 'Ink Paintings by Gao Xingjian Nobel Prize Winner' with ISBN 9781931907033 and ISBN 193190703X.
