About the artwork

In line with the common saying that "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder" Hong underscores the beauty of diversity, derived from the harmony and peace that presides with it in the minds of viewers. In this painting, Hong Zhu An presents two different spatial substances alongside each other; a wall of delicate, intricate texts in juxtaposition with the abstract, lolling strokes of earthen tones, creating a new mixture of feelings and sentiments. This colour scheme of cool against warm complement each other as well, embracing the continuous balance between differentials, leading to a complete, balanced composition.
