[nb-NO]Description[nb-NO]“The virtuosity of executing the Chinese calligraphic form is retained in this work and given an invigorating treatment with the artist 's choice of acrylic, highlighting the artist's dual cultural sensibilities. Full of vigour, the dominant rotund form relates to the sparseness of the canvas about it through the idiom of abstraction dealing with space and form. Bold in composition, Prosperity advances conventional appreciation of both the traditional and the new.”
