Seal Red
Festivals bring the one saturated note into the work: the chingay processions, the lion dance, dancers caught mid-movement. These are paintings of community and shared occasion, of a town gathered together.
The mood is celebratory but never loud. The same attention to figure and light that steadies his quieter scenes holds here too.
