Houses of the South — Fine Art

Houses of the South - 2007 sits on a pale ground with soft grey and green tones. The painting uses thin brush lines and small blocks of tone across the sheet. Wu Guanzhong built many works around village shapes, paths and hills in this way. The marks stay loose even when the scene looks calm.

You get the fine art print with a hanger already on the back. The frame finish can follow the room, so a light frame on a dark wall, a dark frame on a pale wall, or a wood frame beside wooden furniture all work.

It hangs on a bedroom wall where the morning light comes in low. From the bed you see the quiet field of tone first. When you stand by the door, the small blocks of colour become the part you notice.
