Artwork description:

This remarkable work ingeniously incorporates the imagery of landscapes into the form of an ox. As one gazes upon it, one can see the ox lowering its head to drink from the source, its posture exuding a sense of tranquility and purpose. The back of the ox is reminiscent of a lofty mountain, symbolizing strength and stability.
This piece delves deep into the exploration of the unique and profound Eastern abstract aesthetic character that is often described as “foolish” yet in reality embodies a kind of unpretentious wisdom. It is a beauty that is not immediately obvious but reveals itself upon closer inspection and contemplation.
