“In many of my paintings you can find the houses of Jiangnan, with their white stucco walls and black-tiled roofs. Visually, the contrast between the black and white, the combination of different geometric shapes – squares, rectangles, triangles, vertical and horizontal – the juxtaposition of simple forms create a unifying sense of formal beauty. This perhaps is the charm of the elegant Jiangnan village houses.”-—Wu Guanzhong
