About the artwork

This captivating painting transports the viewer into a dreamlike bamboo forest, rendered in soft, ethereal washes of pale greens, blues, and pastels. At the center stands a stylish couple, composed yet completely at ease, sharing the artist’s signature expression of eyes-closed contentment as they inhale the cool, clear air. Adding a final, charming flourish are two young, irresistible pandas nestled at their feet, quietly toying with a small praying mantis. It is an irresistible invitation into a world of perfect, quiet harmony and unexpected friendship.

About the artist

Born in China, Beijing in 1981, Wu Qiong graduated from the Beijing Shi Fan University in 2001 and Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 2006. He was exposed to art very young in life with his father being an artist and his mother being a fashion designer. 

Wu Qiong’s art focuses on childhood, capturing a nostalgic and sometimes humorous portrayal of a generation's childhood experiences. Inspired by China and Singapore, his post-Pop art blends elements of Pop Art with a more personal and nostalgic touch. His experiences growing up in the 1980s under the one-child policy also influences his creations. 

Wu Qiong’s art has garnered attention internationally and in China, though his collector are typically kept private. His art has also been exhibited at various international fairs including Art Miami, Art Cologne and Bridge Art Fair.
