Part of He Jun’s mature ink practice, Looking at the Sea explores perception, inner stillness, and the quiet tension between individuals and the landscapes they contemplate.

In this piece, the artist employs a refined method of tea-infused ink, allowing the natural warmth of tea to soften the monochrome palette.
The result is a subtle tonal field where gentle gradations, diffused edges, and quiet transitions give the work an understated emotional depth.

Three figures stand before the ocean, each with a distinct posture.
The scene is not descriptive; instead, the figures become mirrors of interior states — contemplation, distance, awareness.
The expanse of untouched white space transforms the sea into a psychological boundary, a horizon where thought and perception quietly unfold.

He Jun’s disciplined control of ink, line, and negative space demonstrates his ability to express narrative tension with minimal means.
The silence within the composition is deliberate, creating a meditative atmosphere that invites the viewer to enter the same reflective pause.

Measuring approximately 140 × 70 cm with a brushed dark-gold aluminum frame, the work carries a serene, contemporary presence while maintaining the philosophical tone of traditional ink.
