Li Xi’s "Soul of Sword" is a striking meditation on the evolving language of Chinese ink painting, where meticulous, labyrinthine lines interlace with atmospheric washes to conjure a form that is at once ethereal and grounded. The composition’s central verticality and organic contours evoke both the disciplined tradition of classical scrolls and the unpredictability of natural forces, blurring the boundaries between control and spontaneity. In this piece, Li Xi invites viewers into a dynamic space where history and innovation coalesce, perfectly embodying the BK SIGG Collection’s commitment to documenting the ongoing dialogue between past and present, particularly in Chinese contemporary art.
