| Exhibit on display, "Patchwork", 2009.
In terms of visual elements, this painting is arguably abstract. The inspiration comes from the patched-up clothes of the poor, or rather life, experience and emotions. Wu Guanzhong has admitted that he dislikes pure abstraction without content and that the divide between the figural and the abstract is no more than a fine line. This line, Wu believes, is one of emotions and must not be allowed to break in any case. Photo courtesy of the Hong Kong Museum of Art.
