Abstract

Modern design and art are inseparably integrated, and the core of commercial design requires the support of artistic and humanistic elements. As an integral part of Chinese culture, ink painting presents a key research question: how to inherit and leverage the characteristics of its formal language. The primary focus of this paper is to explore how, in terms of graphic form, one can both creatively express the spirit of Chinese artistic culture and philosophical thought, and simultaneously adhere to the principles of international visual language.
