Ink painting from famous artists
The shoo owner, Mr Zhang, being in the business for 20 years, is familiar with almost all the national painter and their style in China. He firstly introduced the abstract style painter Wang Senran, and his work to me. I guess few people will know the objects on the paper are cabbages at first glance. Because Bai Cai (cabbage) is homonymic with the word that means being rich in Chinese, the painting expresses good wishes for wealth. Mr Zhang highlighted the essence of the picture lies at the intervals of light and dark ink usage and the vertical and horizontal layout of the five cabbages, showing good balance.
I personally in favor of the comedic style painting, featuring one character in Outlaws of the Marsh monk Lu Zhishen, nicknamed the "Flowery Monk". In the painting, He has a round face and big ears, a straight nose and squarish mouth, with a face overshadowed by his beard. By just simple lines, his character is fully reflected in the painting.
As most paintings of San Jiu are real work by famous painter, the prices are comparatively higher, ranging from RMB 10,000 to RMB 30,000.
