Night No. 32 takes deep-toned blue-and-white underglaze as its primary palette, employing a dynamic interplay of ink splashing and linear composition to construct a rhythmically abstract visual structure.

With free and expressive brushstrokes, artist Duan Yijian traces intersecting lines and symbolic marks across the vessel’s surface, creating a shifting play of light and shadow — like the pulsating energy of life flowing through the darkness.

Through the contrast of black and white, the work conveys a powerful sense of spatial tension while preserving the lyrical rhythm of traditional Eastern ink aesthetics. The overall atmosphere is calm yet introspective, reflecting the artist’s exploration of the mystery of the night and the inner spirituality it evokes.
