Concept

Ye’s photography is a modern interpretation of traditional Chinese “Shanshui” landscape paintings. Shanshui translates directly to “the paintings of mountain and water,“ and symbolizes a peaceful life.

A good Shanshui painting contains what is referred to as “Yi Jing,”  “Yi“ being the artist’s personal feelings and aesthetics, and “Jing” being the landscape itself. Utilizing a flat perspective and negative spaces, Ye is able to find his “Yi” in the landscape and convey the same consistent Eastern-style black-and-white pictorial quality in his landscape photography, no matter the location.
