+ OVERVIEW

Autumn Scenery was completed in the winter of 2013 by Au Ho-Nien. Autumn near the horizon was not as cold compared to forests in higher altitudes, where signs of winter had already begun. The first two words of the inscribed poem suggest sparse and withered chills. The greenery in the foreground is surrounded by mists, contrasting with the thick ink at the top of the mountain. Splashed ink was used to blend the two contrasting objects into harmony, creating heavy mists. The mist lingered through the landscape. Hills and trees have already turned red and enlivened the still cold environment.
