If classical Chinese art is your weakness, this hand-painted scroll of fish and flower deserves a spot on your wall. As a piece of koi asian brush painting, it brings genuine character to any room. Around koi, the background dissolves into haze, lending this piece a surprising sense of depth. The palette of the artwork stays true to traditional taste: restrained, harmonious, easy to live with.
Calligraphic energy runs through the composition, proof the painter trained the brush the way a writer trains a pen. There is a reason fish appears in so many classical paintings: it quietly stands for abundance and surplus, year after year. The rendering of koi is particularly fine, worth a second and third look. Lotus flower adds its own layer of interest, drawn with a light but certain touch. Nothing about the mounting distracts from koi; it simply lets the painting do its work.

As a gift, this piece carries meaning along with beauty, something mass-produced prints cannot claim. Koi looks as good in morning light as by lamplight. Bring home a piece of China's living artistic tradition, and let this piece give your wall a richer story.
