Legend , 2015

// Leng Bing-Chuan’s Legend (2015) is a limited edition lithograph that combines intricate line work with stark contrast to evoke a sense of mystique and contemplation. The artwork presents a mountainous landscape meticulously rendered in white lines against a deep black background, capturing the rugged textures and intricate details of the terrain. Below the mountains lies the silhouette of a reclining figure, blending into the darkness as though becoming one with the landscape. This juxtaposition of human form and monumental nature suggests themes of unity, solitude, and perhaps the ephemeral nature of humanity in the face of timeless landscapes. The minimalistic color palette enhances the dramatic effect, drawing attention to the delicate lines and creating a dreamlike, almost mythical atmosphere.
