Ethnic girls (1972)

- Artist: Mai Long
- Dimensions: 80 x 120 cm
- Materials: Silk painting

- Mai Long conveyed his affections onto silk that are always dealt with grace and sophistication. In 'The ethnic lady', we admire the artist's free but delicate handling of watercolor on silk expressed on the subject and showing his character for romantic poetry and traditional beauty. From the perspective of the watcher, we always seem to resonate in this silk piece and find tranquility in his brushstrokes.
