Tai's creative practice with ink is deeply rooted in a cultural atmosphere of his family, an accumulation in classical Chinese calligraphy and literature, as well as his studies of the mounting and conservation of classical Chinese paintings.
The exhibition shows 14 groups of his hand scrolls, screen paintings and leaf albums to show his artistic evolution over the past decade. It is a parallel display, under the same title, to another ongoing exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Tai's paintings reflect a spirit embodied in the Chinese cultural traditions, obeyed by generations of Chinese artists, to understand and explains dao, or the ultimate rules between the heaven and the earth and of the whole universe.
