Artist: Zhang Shuli
 
Artist's reflection: Mottled shades of gray stand out on a tan background. The title is simple too. So, what is the artist's meaning behind the image? 
 
The silence in Zhang’s paintings comes from the peacefulness of his soul. In his paintings, it is as though each color is painted on a limestone colored wall. The colors used are infiltrated by gray and white tones – thus losing their original strength, but softly and elegantly blending together.
