Wind through the lotus pond 2019

Dayou Lu made this with ink and colour on paper, and you can really see the hand of the artist in the brushstrokes that evoke movement and feeling. It's not just a visual representation; it’s like a dance, or maybe a flutter. I imagine Lu standing there, brush in hand, watching the wind rustle through the lotus pond. The splashes of vibrant orange, contrasted with the cool teal of the leaves, make the painting sing! Look at the way the bird is captured mid-flight with such delicate strokes. It gives a sense of spontaneity, as if the scene were captured in a fleeting moment. The conversation between artists never stops, and each work builds on what came before, a continuous exchange of ideas and inspiration.
