PROVENANCE
Important private collection， AsiaPoet， artists and travelers would all like to go to isolated fishing villages to find inspirations， which are usually neglected in our daily lives nets. I would like to find a place within a fishing village， bring my paintbrushes and mosquito nets， to stay for a period. The unpredictable ocean， the shabby boat， and outworn fishing net that left by grandfather… I was so inspired by everything. I sometimes paint fishermen， and they would like to be part of my work， too. They felt so unordinary by our work. They launch out during the day to vibrated the lonely seashore. After five， they came back and get busy again on the land. The orange sunset provides an artistic scenery to paint.
