A mountain seen is a mountain being, a mountain seen is no mountain being, a mountain seen remains a mountain being.

Scientific interpretation: Seeing is perceiving; thinking critically; perception verified.

Ke Wei-kuo was born in the rainy town with mountains and water called Ruifang in the New Taipei City. The greenery scene of this rural place brings Ke Wei-kuo to his childhood memories. Geographically located in the Northeast in Taiwan makes Ruifang rainy and hazy, from which Ke Wei-kuo always gets inspired.

The creations of Ke's are sophisticated. The little spots with different size and contrast shown on the painting reflect the skill of ink-chapping. Together with the use of light ink, ink overnight and the humid effect on the paper, a mutation of ink-trace is composed. This connotes a change of time and climate, and one's emotion.
