  • Boundless Regular Script (Kai Shu/楷书）

    27.2x15.7 inches, Ink on paper,2019

  • Yuanjing Sheng expresses, "I delight in vibrant and lively forms of expression." Delving into the intricacies of ancient calligraphic masterpieces such as the enchanting "Pingfu Tie," the gracefully vertical "Xiare Tie," and the richly expressive "Chu Shi Song," Sheng skillfully navigates through diverse influences. The innocence and simplicity of brick, tile, and pottery inscriptions, the unadorned beauty of Loulan manuscripts, and the scattered elegance in Bada Shanren's works all contribute to the evocative "artistic conception" woven into his calligraphy.

  • Sheng's creative process is a homage to the brilliance of the ancients, with a keen focus on culturally distinctive artworks. Each stroke and composition reflects not only a celebration of creation's grandeur but also a humble acknowledgment of personal limitations in comprehending the vastness of the world. Guided by a highly idealized aesthetic, Sheng transcends the boundaries of classical appreciation, aspiring to embrace a diverse spectrum of beautiful forms.

  • On the Heavenly Balanced Mountain, a spring amidst white clouds,Clouds carefree, water leisurely on its own.Why rush down the mountain,Adding more ripples to the earthly realm

    Running Script (Xing Shu/行书)

    118.1x70.9 inches, Ink on paper, 2022

  • Living in an era that affords a comprehensive view of renowned inscriptions and calligraphy through various media, Sheng grapples with the dual nature of this privilege. While fortunate to witness clear reproductions, there is a constant struggle with feelings of inadequacy in the face of their brilliance. In echoing Qian Zhongshu's sentiments, Sheng navigates this dichotomy, steering away from mere imitation and dependence, and instead, endeavors to learn from the ancients' learning process.
