Sweeping colors wind down the road towards the observer in this landscape painting from Jiang. A river of green and brown mix together and fill the sides of the road, while thoughtfully flicked water strokes from his brush from natural cobblestones on the road. Past the well-worn bridge a figure appears to have begun the journey home from the brightly colored marketplace. With nearly half its population, roughly 600 million people, residing in rural China, it has only recently become a place where modern marketplaces are cropping up. So, it is not surprising to see such a depiction from the last few decades from Jiang. Roadside and smaller stalls like these are vital to everyday commerce and survival in rural China. And here the artist has captured the simplistic beauty of the homegrown atmosphere that still inhabits most of rural China. This slice of life painting deserves a spot to shine and spark conversation.
