For Shen Qin, the practice of ink painting is a state of mind. The use of
muted, monochromatic palette is one of the most striking features of
his work, depicting mountains, flowers, plants and still-life against the
background of ponds, pavilions or imaginary spaces. Shen’s portrayal of
broadly contoured landscape with pared-down and minimalistic lines
depicts scenes that recall the ethereal gardens and mountains described in
classical Chinese poetry. By incorporating elements of design, Shen creates
images imbued with a sense of quietness that resemble black-and-white
film stills: light and airiness permeate his paintings and evoke reverie.
沈勤的水墨創作重意境，喜用輕、薄、透的淡墨描繪山水、花草、靜物，
而背景常配以池塘、亭閣、庭園等建築，並以纖細的線條勾勒其輪廓。
墨色朦朧深淺，與簡約的線條虛實相應，形成對比，營造出帶有濃濃詩
意的水墨空間。沈勤得益於設計方面的經歷，其畫作亦如黑白電影劇照
般，渲染光影之變化，富有沉靜空靈的意境，引人深思。
