Rest Gardens
By Gao Meng from Department of Landscape Painting, School of Chinese Painting
Themed on “Rest Gardens,” my work takes the terrarium as its carrier to connect the whole image. I have drawn various animals and plants in my paintings, depicting small stories or independent natural worlds. Also, I have added some small accessories that we may wear in daily life to the animals in the paintings. By adopting anthropomorphic techniques, I portray the harmonious symbiotic relationship between animals and nature, implying that humans and nature should also be in a harmonious symbiotic relationship.

Rest Gardens (Details)
When I feel anxious, I prefer to go to a park or hike to release my pressure in nature. So I hope that my paintings can convey a warm and healing energy of natural ecology.
