Jade Water Town: White Walls & Black Tiles | Original Impressionistic Jiangnan Oil Painting

A groundbreaking work from WeicaGallery exclusive artist Xianping QIN (Yangyang)’s Jiangnan series, this painting reinterprets the classic beauty of Huizhou water towns through impressionistic impasto techniques. Breaking away from the muted ink-wash tones of traditional Jiangnan art, the artist boldly uses a striking high-saturation color palette of Tiffany blue sky, emerald green water, and gilded autumn trees. The white walls and black tiles stand out in elegant simplicity against the vivid hues, creating a vibrant vitality of the water town through the contrast of cool and warm tones.

Thick layers of oil paint build rich textures on the walls and water surface, with bold, free brushstrokes. The reflections on the water blend naturally with the paint texture, creating a harmonious interplay of reality and illusion. Tiny, vivid depictions of pedestrians and small boats add a touch of daily life to the serene landscape. Framed in a sleek matte white solid wood frame, the boundary is softened to let the vibrant colors take center stage—perfectly blending the symmetrical beauty of Eastern architecture with the color tension of Western oil painting. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind hand-painted original, an exquisite focal point for contemporary Chinese and modern luxury interiors.
