Vögel am Lotosteich, Hängerolle, 152×65cm
Imagine a pond scene painted with the energy of a martial artist—this is Lin Liang’s signature style. In this vertical scroll, a pair of ducks swim peacefully among bold, splashing ink lotus leaves and reeds, while a bird swoops down from the sky above. The visible horizontal creases reveal its history as an ancient hanging scroll, likely folded for storage in a scholar's studio for centuries. Lin Liang was a Ming Dynasty rebel who rejected the stiff, hyper-detailed court style for this wild, expressive 'freehand' technique, influencing generations of artists to embrace spontaneity over precision.
