Lot description

"Landscape No. 1" (2011) is stunning large-scale realist oil painting by famed Chinese Contemporary female artist He Hongbei (China, b. 1969). The artist is most widely known for her surrealist figurative paintings and thus the paintings from her new "Landscape" series begun in 2011-2012 are rare and represent an exciting new departure for He. This painting is the very first of her "Landscape" paintings, and measures an impressive 70.85 x 53.15 inches (180 x 135 cm), is unframed and in excellent condition. Sitting at river's edge is an anthropomorphic "Scholar's Rock" surrounded by lush, colorful flowers in full bloom. The revered Rock with its gently curving silhouette, smooth surfaces,surrounded by lish pink flowers in full bloom replace the female figure which is the typical subject for the artist. This work can be shipped on stretchers or shipped professionally rolled as winning bidder desires.
