About the artwork

Hong Zhu An’s works are resplendent in their ability to reveal the beauty of the world, life, and man through nuanced, abstract forms. The monochromatic and muted colour palette of this painting conveys a sense of tranquility and serenity that evokes feelings of zen, while the striking bold lines punctuate the canvas and imbue it with dynamism. Historically, the line is more aesthetically and philosophically fundamental to Chinese culture than to any other, and is so crucial to classical Chinese culture that painters spend a lifetime mastering it. Hong’s captivating work is a breathtaking tribute to this element of Chinese artistic expression, and pulsates with emotion and artistic depth.
