Drinking Chinese Tea

We see here, a very well-dressed Chinese lady. She's poured some tea, and appears to be waiting for her husband to return. Somehow to me, this feels like the 1920's or 1930's in pre-war China.

About the artist...

This work is by Qian Li-Qun (who also paints under the pen name Yian Ren). He was born in 1954 and started his career as an artist in 1978. He lives in Xin Long which is a small town in Hebei Province in Northern China.

About the artwork...

This style of Chinese art combines the elements of abstract and modern art, while maintaining a flair of folk art as well.
Certainly this style is in a category all of its own.

Material used in this work is known as "shui fen" in Chinese (paint powder and water - similar to gouache).

Because this is a form of Asian modern art, we did not have it mounted with a silk border (as most of our traditional artwork is). Instead, it is on the raw, and rather lightweight paper. This keeps your cost down, and allows you to decide how you want to frame your modern Asian art.
