Artist Bio
A native of Shenyang in Liaoning province, Nie Ou studied the free and spontaneous style of figure painting under Li Keran, Ye Qianyu and Li Kuchan, before going on to excel in ink painting and picture books. Forced to live in the countryside during the Cultural Revolution, she was deeply moved by the simple life she encountered there and has since derived much inspiration for her subsequent painting career from her experiences of village life.

Description
In this painting, Nie returns to her favourite subject to present a vision of harmony, as her casually executed brushstrokes and freely rendered images of peasants, trees and animals create a rustic and simple atmosphere.
