Sumi-e or Brush Painting is essentially ink and watercolor on rice paper using traditional Chinese or Japanese brushes. The artist takes advantage of the flexibility in the traditional brush and the absorbency of the rice paper to create its special aesthetics. It emphasizes lines/brush-strokes’ qualities, such as tones and flow, and values simplicity and white spaces in the composition. This show represented work done mostly during the pandemic. It featured flowers, birds, and landscape compositions. The Sumi-e Group hopes to bring about a feeling of peace and calm during this unusual time.
