The scene for this painting is a canal located near the artist studio in the suburbs of Beijing. The dirty water and the mundane environment are transcended into an ideal landscape in which the mist, with surreal light, formed by the evaporating water and the soft-green leaves of the trees evoke a sort of spring and a rebirth full of life.
Admiring the work immensely , neighbour video-artist Feng Mengbo has filmed the different steps of the painting and its making process . Back |
