About the artwork

8/88 is R1 by jl A young couple stands amidst a blooming forest in spring, which exudes an aura of calmness and tranquility. Even the forest animals seem completely at peace with the human presence. The two figures are depicted in the signature style of Wu Qiong, their closed eyes and upturned expressions resembling those of innocent children. The serenity of this work is surreal; it allows you to forget about the realities of everyday life and invites you into an enchanted world of beauty, stillness and harmony.
