“Temple at the Mountain Peak confronts us with a staggering mountain that is both monumental in scale and visually impressive. Through the hues of blue and green, Zhang gives credence to his own philosophy: “the best brush strokes are gentle but not effete, bold but not wild, profound yet clear”. Zhang’s composition lends an air of mystery, with the gold colour of the paper adding resplendence to the landscape, its shimmering surface evoking the glow of the setting sun.”
