About the artwork
In Angry Angel 4, artist Qin Feng uses a single brushstroke to illuminate the surface of his canvas. Dense and dark, the Chinese ink is splashed around the stroke, showing the strength and energy of the artist at work. The dynamism of Angry Angel 4 is striking: the depiction Qin Feng uses provides a mysterious of effect of movement and falling. It also evokes spirit, water, mist and smoke. With his technique, he leaves the viewer to their own interpretations - the representation of the real world and a defined effect become, with Qin Feng’s art, less and less important; plunging the audience into the depths of abstract art.
