THE COLLECTION
This astonishing suite of pictures are a series of Studies of the Tong River.
We find a powerful combination of Eastern aesthetic codes and a Western conception of depicting reality recalling the intense, almost mystical detail of the work of Kaspar David Friedrich and much topographical painting from the Enlightenment period. We find in equal measure an absorption in detail which recalls near-Ruskinian levels.
