De Qin Series Titulorum

Qin est series titulorum quae traditionem picturae Sinensis paesagisticae per media digitalia noviter interpretatur. Nomen Qin ab verbo Sinico venit quod permeare vel penetrare significat, et character scriptus signa aquae et cordis coniungit. Imagines a photographematis incipiunt, deinde instrumentis digitalibus, ut Photoshop, Cinema 4D et Procreate, elaborantur. Series duabus magnitudinibus producitur et vel typis impressis vel in tabula electronica ostendi potest, sive in pinacotheca sive domi. Consilium est sententiam Taoisticam de natura auditorio internationali exprimere.

Merita, sodales gregis et singula technica a designatore praebita.

Proprietates Singulares: Kaidi Mao's examination of the aesthetic and intellectual tradition of Chinese landscape painting has enabled him to understand the connection between classical Chinese painters and their natural environments. To explore such painting's relationship to nature in a contemporary context, Mao has used today's technology to produce digital images inspired by the traditions of China.
Dimensiones et Involucrum: There are two sizes for this poster series: 24 inches x 36 inches, and 24 inches x 30 inches
Notulae: Art, poster, Taoism, culture, landscape, painting
Technologia Productionis: The initial images are from photography, then digitally created using tools like Photoshop, Cinema 4D and Procreate.
Provocatio Designandi: The biggest challenge of this project is to visually communicate this East Asian worldview to international viewer, especially under the current political environment.
Investigatio: This project is a pictorial reinterpretation of Chinese painters' use of nature to communicate the Taoist notion that the whole planet is permeated by invisible Tao, "the Way of the cosmos, which is evident in nature." Mao has titled this project Qin. Qin, comes from the Chinese word, which means "to permeate", "to seep into". This project allows different cultures, concepts and methods to seep together. The character Qin consists of two parts: the left represents water, and the right represents the heart. Heart can be interpreted as the depth of one's feelings, and when combined with water, expresses something that comes from one's innermost being. Qin explores the aesthetic depth with which Chinese culture responds to, reveres, and honors the natural environment by reexamining pictorial traditions using contemporary digital image production. It also serves as an expression of the connection felt by a producer of such imagery with the underlying concept of Tao that inexpressibly permeates universal being in the Chinese tradition.
Inspiratio: As a designer from China living in the United States, I have sought to integrate my training in contemporary design with my personal and cultural identity. This has come through an examination of different media and technological approaches. This process has led me to a series of digitally produced design pieces that examine my own Chinese pictorial tradition. These works have also allowed me an alternative approach to understanding The Natural within my practice.
Duratio Operis: The project started in September 2019, finished in May 2020 in Los Angeles.
Cursus Operationis: These posters/graphic arts can be displayed physically and digitally, in a gallery setting or in a home setting.
