Artist: Hong Yu
 
Artist's reflection: 'Simple' aptly describes this contemporary piece. Hong's segments his artwork: a stark red building, a multi-shaded color brown tree, a striking blue sky, a light tan ground. It is this skill of segmentation that helps to make this art standout. 
 
Hong Yu, who is originally from a rural setting, has a deep connection with the four seasons and a special affection for their characteristics including the rain, snow, wind and frost. During his 1,000+ kilometer journey from Anhui Province, China to Beijing, China he captured these characteristics and the atmosphere that enveloped him. Through his artwork, Hong likes to convey to others what he sees and how his heart interprets it.
