• The thick ink above is a thrilling Chinese character of “危 Weī”meaning “danger”, while the light ink below is a “机Jī”corresponding to “opportunity” that gradually emerges.
• The " “危 Weī” / danger" in the
artist's brush is heavy
and mad, full of a strong sense of oppression. Although “机 Jī / opportunity" is
elegant, however appears steadily like the power of Taiji.
• The artist's calligraphy directly reflects the profound thought of Taoism's harmony between yin and yang, and the unity of heaven and man.
• Behind “danger”, there is always “opportunity”. Furthermore, only by daring to challenge “danger” can we find new “opportunity”. From a philosophical perspective, sometimes what looks bad on the surface may be good in nature. People need eyes that can see the nature behind them.

Provenance
•Taoism says that one Yin and one Yang means Tao. Everything in the world is inseparable from yin and yang; the change of yin and yang on paper is therefore the spirit of calligraphy. Li Shaobai's states that the spirit of calligraphy is a dialectical unity of contradictions. After understanding and practice it daily, the mind is fixed, the movement is quiet and harmonious, the cultivation is formed, and the talent comes out. Therefore, the spirit of calligraphy is same as Zen meditation.Exhibitions
