Writing:
The artist takes a photo of Hangzhou Jiulisong, after post-processing the output on paper, writes calligraphy on it, then scans the post-output, and then writes multiple layers of color calligraphy on it, resulting in rich tones, layers of thick and light overlapping prints and full of flowers and brocade combined. The content of the calligraphy is the English poet Byron's "She Walks in Beauty".
postscript:
Chu Chu, a native of Hangzhou, was born in an art family and is a graduate of the China Academy of Art with his father. She studied traditional calligraphy and painting, design, oil painting, film and photography, and studied calligraphy with Wang Dongling when she was pursuing her doctorate.
Calligraphy is no longer limited to paper, but comes from between heaven and earth, from the poetic scene of flower shadow longing, Chu Chu's calligraphy liberates the writing activity, with the help of the illusion of contemporary photographs, the poetic cursive and the branches of the West Lake are superimposed, giving black and white calligraphy a rich tone that has never been seen before, the text content, calligraphy lines, natural branches, color tones, with the poetic hazy of music, the plump void reflection and the multi-dimensional crossing of time and space, with layers of thick and light overprints and full of flowers and brocade combined! What could be more soul-destroying than the endless shadow floating and its afterglow?
