Throughout his life, Liu Kang traveled to many countries, blending traditional Chinese ink culture with Western oil painting techniques to express the charm of Southeast Asia. His artistic philosophy is deeply rooted in the land of China, foregrounding inner spirit and implied mood. The softness of ink thus harmonizes the boldness of oil painting, forming the legendary artist’s unique personal style. The featured lot “Scenic Guilin” (1983) showcases Liu Kang’s affection for Chinese scenery. During his long-term stay in Guilin, Liu Kang developed an intimate emotional connection with his surroundings. He used a complex artistic language, blending the hazy beauty of Impressionism, the watery effect of Chinese ink, and the vibrant colors of Southeast Asia to depict the picturesque scenery of Guilin. With his creativity, Liu Kang built a spiritual bridge connecting Europe, Asia, and Southeast Asia. 劉抗不仅是新加坡南洋画派的开创者，更是中国现代艺术史上重要的人物。他一生游历多国，将中国传统水墨文化与西方油画技巧相融合，用来表达东南亚的风情。他的绘画理念根植于中国的土地，注重神韵与意境，水墨的柔美中和着油画的张扬，使这位传奇的艺术家形成了独树一帜的个人风格。本次这件拍品《桂林山水》诠释了劉抗对中国风景的热爱。在桂林长居的一段时间里，劉抗与周围的环境产生了紧密的情感联系，用结合了印象派朦胧美、中国水墨晕染效果、以及东南亚热烈色彩的复杂艺术语言描绘出桂林的山清水秀，以一己之身构建了链接欧洲、亚洲、东南亚三地的精神桥梁。
