About the artwork

Deviating from his recurring motifs of grey black and white for his signature lotus flowers, Yi Zhou accentuates the elegance of the humble flower by composing grounds of red and gold. Expounding on the Eastern elements of his work, the artist skillfully melds abstract composition and and painterly representation.
