NI ZHU THE WATERMELON VENDOR

12” x 12” — Oil $1,600 In the Watermelon Vendor, the viewer steps into the world of a watermelon vendor, as he takes a moment of relaxation, watching the daily transactions happening around him. Heavy texture and impasto suggest that this is a fleeting moment of impression in the hustle and bustle of the busy market. NI ZHU • WAOW Associate • CA • www.junyzhu.com
