Cottages, 2002

Visual Conception: Through large, rhythmically arranged black forms, subtly emerging lines, and scattered accents of red and green, the work highly abstracts and deconstructs the imagery of a Jiangnan village. It brings together the expressive, freehand spirit of traditional Chinese painting with the formal structures of Western modern art.

Artistic Style: The work blends the expressive spirit of traditional Chinese ink painting with the formal language of Western modern art.
