Modern European ink painting

Modern European ink painting (sometimes called the "New Ink Movement"^[1] or the "New Ink Art") is an emerging style that reaches beyond traditional Asian ink painting in scope and treatment of a minimalist-art. Contemporary ink painting is developing and establishing the recognition it deserves and gaining its own place among the major pictorial works of the world.This global contemporary art movement represents sort of amalgamation of the Western visual art problems and practices with those of East Asia.^[2] Lin Fengmian, Xu Beihong, and Wu Guanzhong were revered as the most pioneering Western-trained artists.^[3] Lui Shou Kwan (1919-1975) is credited with founding the New Ink Painting Movement. List of notable painters can include Chou Lu Yun, Irene (1924-2011), Chui Tze-Hung (b. 1936), Kan Tai-Keung (b. 1942), Koo Mei, Carrie (b. 1929), Leung But-Yin (b. 1940), Leung Kui-Ting (b.1945), Ng Yiu-Chung (1935-1987), Poon Chun-Wah (b.1936), Wong King-Seng (b. 1928), Yeung Yick-Chung (1921-1981) and others.^[4] Lui Shou-kwan and his followers (up to the present times) reinterprets Chinese ink art in the form of Western modernism.
