This Land So Rich In Beauty No.4 

After the series Mask that exemplified the classic he achieved, ZENG Fanzhi commenced art creation with abstract language borrowed from writing system. One single image was not the choice anymore. Instead, the artist attempted to discover material and inspiration from mass media, information, everyday life and nature, like the case in this piece, where the landscape woven simply by lines, colours and lights constituted an unreal world, rendering the poetic expression by MAO Zedong. Subjectiveness and naturality were accentuated in ZENG's art, which also implied the significance carried by body movement in the production of artpieces. He quit the harsh marks caused by paint knives and started with pursuit of flowing brushwork, which maintained both elaborate structure and artistic freedom.
