Heng Yi is a Chinese-born artist whose practice moves across ink painting, calligraphy, architectural drawing, and philosophical inquiry, exploring how image can approach states of perception described in Mahayana thought. His work evokes spiritual presence through atmosphere, ambiguity, and spatial resonance, engaging concepts such as the Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds, emptiness, and emergence.
Sanzen Daisen Sekai (三千大千世界) is a two-chapter solo exhibition by Heng Yi, curated by Ann Shi, exploring Buddhist cosmology through ink painting, calligraphy, and philosophical inquiry. The exhibition moves along the axis of form and emptiness, featuring Chapter I at the Steam Gallery and Chapter II at a poco art.
