California-based artist Tian Haisu paints via “landskating.”
I broke with the brush for other tools and methods, such as balloon explosion, pouring directly on the paper, tracing and dripping. Recently I became inspired by my favorite sport—ice-skating.

My whole body is involved and I produce all kinds of ink landscapes, such creation is full of power, speed, and rhythm.

I am so passionate about ink landscaping because it shows very rich emotions by means of simple forms.
