Watercolour on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

The artist regards using canvas as the media for traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy as an amalgamation of the East and West. It is not an amalgamation in the way of mixing the skills and/or subjects of the arts that are originated from the two different cultures but in the way of using a Western platform to channel Eastern art. It is a kind of novelty that would help non-Chinese viewers to enjoy traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy readily and comfortably. It is a kind of novelty that would help Westerners feel more intimate with the relatively strange and alien traditional art of the Chinese people. It is a kind of novelty that would hopefully help people from the two cultures grow in harmony through the cultivation of mutual respect and appreciation by the means of art appreciation.
