Peach Blossom 4

30*30cm, 2023

This oil painting is a vibrant tableau of floridity, showcasing a riot of colors that vividly embody the phrase "百花齐放，争奇斗艳" (a hundred flowers bloom in full, each vying for beauty).

Niu's understanding and perception of flowers have given rise to a canvas rich in unique color rhythms and rhythms. The use of the impasto technique is evident, where thick and textured layers of paint create a three-dimensional effect that gives the flowers a tangible presence.

The varied and bright hues are masterfully balanced, creating a sense of depth and movement across the painting. The composition does not strive for botanical accuracy but instead captures the essence of blossoms through abstract expressionism. Dashes of white and red punctuate the canvas, drawing the eye and suggesting the diversity of flora.

The painting's energetic brushwork conveys the wild and untamed nature of a blooming garden, where each stroke contributes to the overall impression of a lush and vibrant landscape. The splashes of color against a muted background create a dynamic contrast, underscoring the artist's focus on the interplay of colors rather than on precise forms. The work is an ode to the sensory delight of nature's palette, an invitation to the viewer to feel the rhythm of nature's dance. It encapsulates the joyous chaos of growth and the beauty of competition in nature, where each flower strives to outshine the others.

Through this artistic rendering, the painting becomes more than a mere representation of flowers; it becomes a symphony of colors that resonates with the viewer's own experiences and emotions related to the natural world.
