About the artwork

KU - Colour use, linear perspectives, calligraphy and visuals of the East are the key components in Hong Zhu An’s works. The stark contrast of the colours and the subjects in the partition are a reflection of the qualities of virtue; that it stands clean, pure and natural amongst other undesirable values. Mountains, symbolising mankind’s pursuit of purity and immortality, appears in the narrow space between the muted backgrounds, reflecting the viewers’ dreams to ascend to a new level of spiritual enlightenment.
