About the artwork

意思：心平气和，所有祥和都会靠向你。 With the striking use of rusted red and blue hues, this piece captures one’s attention with its coordination of space and contrast against the grey and faded canvas. The complex yet subtle pairing of red and blue is the overarching element in this work to create a vivid yet aged with layered pigments that reflect Hong’s sensitive eye for colour. Reminiscent of Shanghai school painters’ renowned colour juxtapositions, the combination of textures and rich colour manifests itself powerfully in this work to bring forth a controlled intensity emulsified over a subdued base. Together, creating a cohesive that balances vitality and passion with an innate peace and tranquillity. Evoking a sense of calm and peace, this piece calls for viewers to feel carefree and relaxed.
