In the recent years of living between Berlin and Beijing, Meng Huang has never let go of the link between landscape and his own creative language. As his experience grew richer, Meng began to focus more and more on pure and expansive landscapes. As a result, the image of water gradually appeared more and more frequently in Meng Huang’s paintings, until it took over almost all of his paintings in recent years. If one goes back to the Paradise Lost series of the 1990s, one will find that the conceit of water was already laid down. At that time, water was taken intuitively by Meng Huang as a partial part of the landscape. There is no doubt that the water was coloured black at the time, unlike any other landscape that Meng Huang painted. After twenty years of intermittent depictions of water, intuition slowly gave way to spontaneity, so that water ceased to be the landscape itself and became a distilled paradigm.
