”Sea of Clouds ” not only demonstrates the literati's interest in the aesthetics of Chinese painting and calligraphy, which is the unity of poetry, calligraphy, painting, and sealing, but also embodies the Taoist philosophy of the harmony between the virtual and the real, the yin and the yang. The sea of clouds is a frequent theme for Chunmao SHIH 's works, and he is extremely skillful in his brushwork and layout, with the elongated and continuous lines suggesting the fluctuations and changes of the sea of clouds. With such a special artistic element, it is believed that the artist can engage in a cross-cultural aesthetic and spiritual dialog with the Parisian audience, who are deeply educated in the humanities.
