The River-stroke by JY
Like the tributaries coursing through rolling hills and valleys, JY’s calligraphy art is an undulating and elevated articulation of tradition, poetry, syntax, meter and emotions. With each stroke of his brush, akin to tributaries flowing into a confluence of thoughts, a river of expressions.
The River stroke is a homage to his grandfather’s traditions - sojourns into memory; joy, love, anguish, and desire. When at first seen as unconventional and a brackish riposte to the traditions, JY’s art is very much steeped in the craft and deftness of traditional Chinese calligraphy.
Beyond that, his art sees a world no longer delineated by rules, but only of a single-minded expression of thought, infused with layers of contemplation and purpose, expressed in the movement of his unceasing River-stroke.

![Artwork Size : 3500mm X 700mm . [念奴嬌] 蘇軾 大江東去，浪淘盡， 千古風流人物。 故壘西邊，人道是， 三國周郎赤壁。 亂石穿空，驚濤拍岸，捲起千堆雪。 江山如畫，一時多少豪傑。 遙想公瑾當年，小喬初嫁了，雄姿英發， 羽扇綸巾，談笑間，檣櫓灰飛煙滅。 故國神遊，多情應笑我，早生華髪。 人生如夢，一尊還酹江月。 [Remembrance of the Tale of the Crimson Cliff] By Su Shi The endless river eastward flows; With its huge waves are gone all those Gallant heroes of bygone years. West of the ancient fortress appears Red Cliff where General Zhou Yu won his early fame When the Three Kingdoms were in flame. Jugged rocks tower in the air And swashing waves beat on the shore, Rolling up a thousand heaps of snow. To match the hills and the river so fair, How many heroes brave of yore Made a great show! I fancy General Zhou Yu at the height Of his success, with a plume fan in hand, In a silk hood, so brave and bright, Laughing and jesting with his bride so fair, While enemy ships were destroyed as planned Like castles in the air. Should their souls revisit this land, Sentimental, his bride would laugh to say: Younger than they, I have my hair turned grey. Life is like a passing dream. O Moon, I drink to you who saw them on the stream.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/074017_567ce2343bfd4a1c8a81a0b4c4db90cd~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_495,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/074017_567ce2343bfd4a1c8a81a0b4c4db90cd~mv2.jpg)
