  • Painting: Tao Qian

    Tao Qian, also called Tao Yuan Ming, is a great writer from the Jin dynasty of ancient China and is considered to be the earliest and most famous poet in China. It is not an exaggeration to say that all successful poets in different dynasties in China were all influenced by him. He loved nature and freedom of thought, without paying attention to perseonal fame. He gave up his position as a county mayor and went to live in the countryside.

  • Painting: Tiger Bench

    This piece depicts a common torture method used to inflict severe, prolonged pain. Bricks are stacked beneath the feet while ropes tying the legs down are pulled taut, bringing the legs to the point of breaking. The artist has given both men an ethereal halo - one bright, one dark and ghostly. The stark difference suggests the difference between being kind hearted and having a heart of evil.
  • Painting: Mountain Pine

    The tall green mountain serves as a nice backdrop to two uniquely-shaped pine trees. In ancient times, people often used the pine tree as an analogy to describe the characteristics of a true gentleman. It does not shed its leaves (needles) in the harsh winter and remains upright in any situation. Throughout history, painters have often painted pine trees to declare their own determination.
