Budding talent

The deep concentration of the worker, as he handles an old machine, shows his love for his craft. His coarse blue jacket and black trousers recall a time from the past. The blurred background, the majestic strokes in ink and color, and the detailing on the face convey the dedication and seriousness of an older generation.

This diptych Chinese painting by Wang Ning from the Tianjin Fine Arts Institute, freezes a moment from his father's life in a workshop.

It is one of the exhibits of the Green Hope Project - National Art Students Annual Award at the Today Art Museum.
