Leung Kui Ting 梁巨廷
Beyond Form 象外
1969
Leung Kui Ting’s artistic training was non-traditional. He experimented widely with printmaking, oils, and sculpture, although he has focused on ink since the 1980s. Having taught woodblock printing, graphic design, colour theory, and three-dimensional design, Leung approaches ink painting through multiple lenses. His works often make innovative use of formats, traditional mountings, and brushwork, and integrate architectural and geographical contexts.
Beyond Form is one of Leung’s early works, and it reflects the breadth of his understanding of the subtleties of ink-wash textures and saturations. The work demonstrates the ease with which he experiments with gestural abstraction and calligraphic mark making, and its architectonic composition and tight cropping along the edges reflect his eye for graphic design. Leung was relatively new to ink painting at the time of the work’s creation, but he exhibits confidence in combining bold forms with splashed ink, in manipulations of scale, and in proliferations of varied, overlapping black tones. His later works depict rock formations, topographies, and semi-organic forms, and feature fine, detailed brushwork.
