~In the Afternoon~ ~午後~
This artwork showcases the abundant use of bright colours which is usually rare in traditional Chinese paintings. Once again, Fan Hongbin uses the technique of flattening colours making it simple and abstract. The colours red and yellow are prominent on the lady’s dress, both colours going back and forth to show depth and elegance. The bright placement of flowers behind shows a freehand style giving each colour its own rhythm of lightness and weight.
