The Design

About The Empty Landscape Poster

The Empty Landscape is a printed poster that combines modern graphic design with traditional Chinese landscape painting. The poster measures 70 by 100 centimeters. The composition draws on the use of blank space in classical Chinese painting. Transparent layers and mosaic-like bitmap graphics create a comparable sense of emptiness and atmosphere. The flat visual language of contemporary design is mixed with the older tradition. The poster was developed in Beijing and explores the artistic mood of Chinese landscape painting through digital means.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: This poster is a fusion of modern design and ancient Chinese painting on the expression of flat graphics, hoping to show the exploration of the artistic conception of Chinese landscape painting through modern bitmap design.
Dimensions & Packaging: 70X100cm
Production Technology: print
Design Challenge: Visual creative expression
Inspiration: The inspiration comes from the blank processing in Chinese painting. I hope to show the same artistic conception through the blank transparent layer and the graphic processing of the mosaic in the design, but the design aesthetic of modern society is mixed in the middle.
Project Duration: The project started in Beijing in April 2017, was completed in Beijing in August 2017, and was exhibited at Beijing in April 2019.
