WU MU-LI WAS BORN IN HAIFENG, GUANGDONG IN 1960. HE GRADUATED FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF FINE ARTS OF SOUTH CHINA NORMAL UNIVERSITY WITH A BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE. HE STUDIED UNDER FAMOUS ARTISTS SUCH AS LAI SHAOQI HUANG YUN AND LUO JINGQUAN. HE IS CURRENTLY A SPECIALLY APPOINTED PAINTER OF THE MINISTRY OF CULTURE OF CHINA. HE HAS HELD MANY LARGE-SCALE EXHIBITIONS AT HOME AND ABROAD. THIS IS THE FIFTH TIME FOR THE PAINTER TO HOLD A SOLO EXHIBITION IN SINGAPORE.
WU MULI’S CONTEMPORARY INK PAINTINGS EMBODY THE TAOIST ESSENCE OF YIN AND YANG, WEAVING TOGETHER THREADS OF SIMPLICITY AND DEPTH. HIS CANVASES ARE OFTEN ADORNED WITH EXPANSIVE WASHES OF INK, SKILLFULLY JUXTAPOSED AGAINST VAST EXPANSES OF WHITE AND BLACK, CREATING A PROFOUND ECHO OF CONTRAST. THIS INTERPLAY BREATHES LIFE INTO THE ARTWORK, ILLUMINATING THE VIVID CHARM INHERENT IN EACH PIECE. THE HARMONIOUS BLEND OF ESSENCE, ENERGY, AND SPIRIT REVEALS THE BRILLIANCE OF MR. WU MULI’S ARTISTIC VISION. HIS ENCHANTING BRUSHSTROKES INVITE VIEWERS INTO A REALM OF ENDLESS CONTEMPLATION, LEAVING A LINGERING RESONANCE THAT CAPTIVATES THE SOUL.

吴木离的当代水墨画, 蕴含着道家阴阳合一、大道至简、大巧若拙之意味, 吴 木离常常用大面积的墨色填满画面, 在画面上常常留出一处或多处白与黑的呼 应。将整幅水墨画突显出了气韵生动。 精、气、神俱足, 此乃吴木离先生水墨 画的高妙之处, 神来之笔, 让观者回味无穷。

In the Batik Introduction Handkerchief Painting workshop, participants will learn the traditional art of batik, a wax-resist dyeing technique originating from Indonesia. The workshop begins with a brief history and overview of batik, highlighting its cultural significance and various techniques. Participants will then observe a demonstration of applying wax with tjanting tools and dyeing the fabric. Following the demonstration, each participant will design and create their own batik handkerchief, applying wax to create patterns and then dyeing their fabric. The workshop concludes with a group discussion, allowing participants to share their creations and reflect on their learning experience.
