"The way to happiness is to live as authentically as possible. I try to express my feelings truthfully, to both myself and my artworks. Of course, there are boundaries to this truthfulness. I have to be considerate of others' feelings. However, including these complexities in my work is what gives them power. It is what makes them interesting. This is the allure of art."

Differing from the early Green Dog series that emphasises the shape of the dogs by modelling them after rock mountains, this 2007 work TT Looking Back (Lot 206) puts a new focus on realism. Although the colour green does remove the work from reality to a certain degree, the rendering of the dog's demeanour, motion, and texture of its fur are all very realistic. Zhou Chunya works rapidly with gestural brushstrokes. This treatment fills the canvas with dynamic textures and rhythmic forms. By positioning the dog in the middle of a white backdrop, the artist highlights the expressive power of the colours as well as the sculptural quality of the modelling. Similar to minimalist sculptures, a single hue is used as the background to heighten the clarity of a particular experience. Using his seasoned painting techniques, decisive brushstrokes, and bold use of colours, Zhou Chunya painted a green dog that truthfully represents the primal force of the animal and its powerful physique.
