This artwork depicts houses of a southern Chinese community. There are houses in traditional Chinese style on the back ground, people in the middle ground and a river in the foreground. The artwork is painted and the strokes of brushes are evident when you look closely. 

The artist made use of simple strokes and dotted some parts of the artwork. The different colour gradient is also obvious when it is observed close up. The technique is very simple yet it creates different kinds of view when observed closely or from further away. The artwork may not make sense and lacks details when you look closely, however it offers you a totally different image when you don't focus on the details. This adds on to a interesting point in the artwork. The artwork mainly consists of dark coloured but there are flashes of pink, yellow and blue in the artwork which can catch the eye of the observers, representing the vibrant coloured clothes of the Chinese community and culture.

This artwork may represent the seemingly dull residences of the area, however the flashes of vibrant colours represents the inner beauty of the people there and the lively cultures they have. The fact that he artwork don't seem to make sense in close range but it makes sense when observed at a different perspective reminds us to look things differently, not just stick to one thing and you may never find the solution, try to find alternatives.

Judgment 

This artwork may not appear very visually pleasing to some people, the technique is very interesting as only simple brushes are used. It also provides different looks form different positions. However, it lacks details because of the technique used.
