Description
Oil on canvas
63×98 cm 24 3/4×38 5/8 in
Signed in Chinese and dated on bottom left; signed and dated in Chinese on reverse
Private collection, AsiaSince the 1990s, when the figurative and realistic style of Russia or the style of political pop art were dominating the contemporary Chinese paintings, Hong Ling had chosen a path that was less travelled by. He absorbed the creative inspirations from traditional Chinese paintings, innovated the style and artistic spirit that had been emphasised by ancient literati, and committed to the continuous exploration in his own creation. Therefore, most of the landscape images in his works are both reserved and magnificent, carry the beauty of traditional ink painting and offer additional experiences and meanings to the landscape spirits of the new era.
