Artwork Description

This painting was inspired by David Hockney's work, on his swimming pool images. Here I am looking towards a larger-scale pool paradise and so there should be many different people in the painting. I thought of the Bondi Bath, home of the Bondi Icebergs ... and I thought of it not only as material but as a subjective scenario design. In this large work, I want to document the summer lives of Australians, their love, happiness and hope in a graphic way. I made a bold attempt at the primary colour and simplified and generalized the human figures. I want people who collect paintings to have an artistic concept of living on the edge of the ocean pool every day. Even in a small living environment, one can still hear the sound of the waves from the sea.

This painting is ready to hang. Similar colours have been used on the edges of the canvas to match the painting. I’ve used high-quality oil pigments and it’s been well-varnished. ( if you love this style but the size doesn't suit, I'm happy to create a similar piece in the required size )

My works come with a Certificate of Authenticity

Artist Bio

“I paint with my heart, to express my thoughts, to rejoice in sadness.”Li Zhou was born in Shanghai and realized her love of expression through art at an early age. During her secondary school years, she studied watercolours under artist Christopher Wu, a professional painter in the world's most influential portrait gallery in New York (PORTRAITS, INC.). Following her inspiration, she enrolled at the University of Shanghai to complete a Fine Arts Degree as well as qualifications in Fashion Design. Since arriving in Australia, Li has successfully pursued a career in fashion, all the while yearning to spend more time expressing herself on canvas. After a personal pilgrimage to Europe, journeying through the landscapes and galleries of the Masters, she returned to painting as a professional artist in 2012.Many of her works pursue the theme of women and Li uses her own language of painting to express primitive and complex inner thoughts. The concept is not of superficial beauty in female form; Li is conveying silent and powerful energy. This is the process of finding her way. Li’s works appear in private collections in Victoria, interstate and internationally. She has also won numerous awards.
