+ OVERVIEW
Ever since Zhou Chunya came back from his further education in Germany in the 1990s, he began to combine the spirits of traditional Chinese landscape paintings with western painting skills to create a series of artworks featuring traditional Chinese connotations. His unique application of force and painting skills, combined with his bold application of colors make his paintings stunningly unique in representing traditional landscape in a new way. The big difference in presentation and coloring seems to apply a tier of addition to the traditional landscape, implying the obscure matter of nature.
This painting is one of the series of artworks with the theme of "rock" and "vase of flowers". This painting features bright red roses standing out on a black net background with a shockingly strong contrast of coloring. The various shapes of rocks with soft and smooth outlines, combined with uneven surfaces makes the painting even more delicate.
Zhou Chunya expresses his feelings and emotions with colors and shapes. Mountains water and everything come out naturally from his casual and elegant moves of hands. It is because he has combined the spirit of traditional Chinese landscape paintings with western painting skills to break through the limits of traditional representation of colors, so as to extend the expression of strong emotions and bringing people into a supernatural dreamland that goes beyond cultures and history.
