“Less is more”…
Sumi-e Art is a representation of the ink wash painting or
Chinese brush painting developed in China during the Tang
Dynasty (618-907). This style of painting was to grasp
the spirit (“chi”, Chinese for “life spirit”) in the composi-
tion of the painting with simple and harmonic lines, shading
and minimal color. In achieving the liveliness and essence
of the spirit of the painting, fewer colors and decisive lines
are used, but enough to feel the subject. Each brush
stroke is completed with meaning and has a purpose with
no corrections or dabbing.
In original Sumi-e Art context, the shading means more
than just dark-light arrangements, it is the basis for the
beautiful nuance in the tonality uniqueness of East Asian
ink wash painting and brush-and-ink calligraphy. The
shades of color can be interpreted as generations in a
family. The lightest shade represents a grandparent that has
seen many days of light, while the predominant shade is
the newest addition to a family. Many artist in the Ameri-
can Modernists era felt Sumi-e Art helped to free and
creatively shape their artistic perspective, which included
artists like Georgia O’Keeffe. The patterns in the Sumi-e Art Collection features new technology for Public Space, created on our ColorPoint Machine, these patterns offer detail, infinite repeat, texture, and the use of 2-6 colors within the pattern.
