異質性是當代藝術的重要指標之一，這種異質跨界的結合造成藝術作品產生許多變異的效果，水墨作品也不例外，突破以往傳統水墨的意義象徵，畫面內容從很明確的形象上，或是清晰的主體上產生斷裂以及改變。變異的特質將以往的水墨表現方式轉到陌生之境或者莫名之物，接著通過不斷加工以及擴張的組織，衍生出以材料拼貼為表現方式的混搭式水墨作品，再依此形成某一類型的當代水墨，同時，藉此來滿足創作者對某些現象的觀察、觀念的突破或是自我的反思，可以使我們了解到物質材料的多樣性，最終還落實在水墨藝術之中，呼應了天人合一「之外」，入世而且多元的大千世界。

The heterogeneity is one of the critical indicators in the contemporary arts. This kind of heterogeneity, such as crossover combination of different materials, would result in a variety of effects. There is no exception in Chinese brush painting. Instead of the very manifest images or subjects in the traditional artworks, heterogeneity brings broken pieces of the objects or chaotic messy scenes into the contemporary artworks. Through adding extra works to these pieces or the chaotic scenes, the artists employ the unique technique similar to collage, to make brand-new Chinese painting artworks in a mix and match style, which satisfies the artists with the observation of certain phenomenon (e.g. social phenomenon and events), the breakthrough of conception, and the self-retrospect of the artists. Moreover, this technique would help us understand the great variety of of materials. At last, in addition to the concept of ＂human and nature＂ in the traditional artworks, it brings a great diversity of real human life into contemporary artworks.
