If you look carefully at Zhou Sicong's paintings, you will find that there are two kinds of plants that often appear in her paintings, one is the lotus and the other is banana. The reason for this is that both plants are suitable for large-scale ink splashing to set off the lines of the characters, that is, the contrast between lines and surfaces; moreover, the color of the banana in her paintings is mostly light, which provides a wide space for the use of colors for the characters. Because of its light color, it is used as a background and does not compete with any protagonist for the audience's attention.

Let’s enjoy it together below.
