Four Feng Shui Principles of Office Landscape Paintings
Office Feng Shui Painting One: The Mountain Picture - "Mount Tai" Ink Painting
In feng shui, there is a saying "as stable as Mount Tai," symbolizing a solid support and a secure foundation. Mount Tai is known as the "Number One Mountain under Heaven," and it has been a place of imperial sacrifices throughout history, making it the most suitable choice as a feng shui mountain. [Analysis] This ink painting of Mount Tai by Wang Ning: The peaks are majestic and powerful, with a sense of unstoppable momentum, fully demonstrating the grandeur of the mountain peaks. Wang Ning's entire landscape painting depicts a continuous range of mountains, with a magnificent and elegant atmosphere, deep valleys, and strange peaks, surrounded by swirling clouds that evoke a sense of wonder. At the top left, the elegant and graceful calligraphy "Purple Qi from the East" adds a scholarly touch to the painting, making it a fine piece of landscape art.
Office Feng Shui Painting Two: The Stepping Up Picture - "The Great Wall" Ink Painting
The Great Wall also represents a mountain without water. Having stood for thousands of years, it symbolizes that a family or a company will never fall. Hanging a painting of the Great Wall on the office background wall makes the person sitting in front of it feel as if the Great Wall is behind their shoulders. The winding Great Wall resembles the back of a chair, conforming to the feng shui principle of "the shape of the mountain." Using the Great Wall as a support is also an excellent choice. [Analysis] "Golden Great Wall Illuminating China" is a very grand work. The brushwork is strong, the ink color is elegant, and the detailed depiction of the Great Wall, clouds, and mountains in the painting demonstrates the superb painting skills of Teacher Jiang Wei. His painting style is characterized by fullness, richness, solemnity, intensity, and a strong sense of rhythm. The entire painting is created using warm golden tones, symbolizing the beginning of the "Chinese Dream" in gold, representing a harmonious and prosperous era. Whether hung in the office or behind the sofa in the living room, the Great Wall painting gives the feeling of having a big mountain behind, leading to a steady rise in one's career. It is indeed a high-level feng shui painting!
Office Feng Shui Painting Three: Sunrise in the East: Rising Gradually, Sunrise in the East
Sunrise in the East brings a hundred blessings! From a feng shui perspective, the sunrise in the east includes a large mountain, symbolizing a solid support that benefits the workers' career development.
[Comment] This painting features layered peaks and dense forests, with rich ink tones and skillful brushstrokes. The mountain rocks are painted using the "披麻皴" (broken branch texture) and "斧劈皴" (axe-cut texture), creating a delicate yet firm appearance. The dense moss dots enhance the ruggedness of the mountains. The artist skillfully uses the balance of void and solid, light and dark, creating a composition where "the void becomes a wonderful scene." The elegant cursive script of "Sunrise in the East" in the middle adds a sense of elegance, beauty, and harmony to the painting. Lin Dekun, a contemporary landscape painter with great collection value, would be a proud addition to any office.
Office Feng Shui Painting Four: The Treasure Bowl of Prosperity: Wealth Accumulation, Enhancing Wealth
[Comment] In this painting, the bottom shows that all the water (wealth) flows into the basin without escaping, symbolizing wealth accumulation. The auspicious clouds above represent good fortune and a thriving career. The cascading waterfall signifies an endless flow of wealth, and the abundant water forming the shape of a treasure bowl means that the water does not escape, i.e., wealth does not leave, symbolizing a treasure bowl that attracts and accumulates wealth. The ancient pines on both sides symbolize the left side attracting wealth and the right side repelling disasters, also implying a flourishing career. The long history of landscape paintings and the enduring legacy of feng shui culture are perfectly combined in this artwork. With a mountain behind and water in front, the mountains encircle the water; there is a solid support behind and a source of wealth in front, with the "Azure Dragon and White Tiger" guarding on both sides. This is a perfect treasure bowl landscape painting.
