2. Background

As an artistic expression, splash-ink originated from ancient literati painting in China. Literati painting emphasizes the natural expression of pen and ink and the expression of artistic conception, and splashing ink is one of the forms of expression. However, in contemporary art, ink splashing is deconstructed by some artists and used to express their thoughts and observations on social, cultural and human issues.

3. Operating steps

As a special artistic expression, splash-ink requires artists to have certain skills and experience. The following are the general operation steps of ink splashing:

Step 1: Prepare for work. Artists need to choose suitable ink, paper and tools to ensure the quality of ink and the ink absorption performance of paper.

Step 2: Conception and preparation. Before splashing ink, artists need to conceive the overall effect and artistic conception of their works, and choose appropriate splashing methods and techniques.

The third step: the ink splashing process. The artist pours the ink into the container and splashes the ink on the paper through different techniques and actions. The way of splashing ink can be directly shaking with a pen or a writing brush, or pouring ink or using gravity to make the ink flow.

Step 4: Observe and adjust. Artists need to constantly observe the effect of their works in the process of splashing ink, and make adjustments and modifications as needed to achieve the ideal artistic effect.

4. Disputes and discussions

The ink splashing incident has caused widespread controversy and discussion. On the one hand, some viewers think that splashing ink is a subversion and innovation of traditional art forms, and an independent observation and expression of social phenomena and human nature by artists. On the other hand, some viewers think that splashing ink is the destruction of traditional art and disrespect for the audience, and that artists should respect tradition and create works with more connotation and depth.

In the debate and discussion, some art critics put forward some opinions. They believe that ink splashing, as an art form, has its own diversity and openness, and should not be limited to the traditional definition and category. Artists' creative freedom and right of expression should be respected and protected, and the audience should also keep an open mind and aesthetic vision to understand and appreciate different forms of artistic expression.
