Description
Many people are touched by the chill in this painting. Although it has been a bit gloomy, the snow on the ground is enough to reflect any weak light. It is not the time to light up the street lights. The people in snow wear heavy winter coats and walk hard. It definitely has cold wind to let people who work whole day in despair. I think even those who hide in their cars won’t feel easy either, because the road is dirty and muddy. The simple car advertisement showing on the building said: the consumption can bring better life! Only the golden dome of Orthodox Church far away is the most brilliant color. Religion can bring some spiritual comfort to people during their difficult time. Compare with No.27, Luc Tuymans’ , the atmosphere of winter are similar. But his style is simpler. And there is some poetic feeling when outlines the branches. About this work, I want to say something. When I told to two friends of mine who were touched by this work that this is scenery of Russian, they turn very emotional. “Why did you describe foreign scene? China has same snow scenery in Harbin. I am wondering why modern Chinese people cannot have an international point of view and broad-minded. Does it only get into a nationalism complex, although this is the current mainstream of society?
