Catalogue Note:

Simplicity, gracefulness and strong visual impact form the unique painting style of artist Huang Gang. This lot has demonstrated the artist's praise of the nature and the soul. The powerful horizontal composition symbolizes the abstract but perceivable imagination among the sky, the earth and the human soul. The old suitcase, the wooden Sutra, the use of warm colors and the natural tiger and leopard skins epitomize the warmth and the wild sides of nature. It represents the purity and faith of ones' beliefs. This is a magnificent piece of work showing the perfect harmony of man and nature.


Huang Gang has executed the piece in a contemporary way but with the respect of Asian taste, he has kept the old suitcase and the wooden Sutra and has preserved the original textures and colors. With the artist's re-structuring, decorating and painting, the work has endowed a sense of beauty across time and space, with poetic and humanistic care permeating the whole piece.
