Remember, all of us at the beginning were apes! The only thing that separates us from apes and others is the capability to learn and think.

I think this painting will be the centrepiece of the collection, it reflects really what I want to explain when I say: “To think is contagious. Infect brains”. We, as human being, are the only animals who had the capability to think and develop fast our brains. We have this unique opportunity, and the most of the times we don’t use it or we use it for destructive ways. There is a very thin line between the evolution of ones and others, therefore use our capabilities at our best. This painting has to remember us that.

Moreover, this painting has to remember the young generations that they have to pursuit in learning and discovering, that we never have to stop in learning, only learning make us human beings.

Other conclusion is that we have to push our knowledgement and discover beyond the limits of what is understanding now or someone wants we believe to. Einstein has been the most important human being and I like to have him in front of me each day as a referent and remember me to go further in anything.

Road no. 5 is one of the best works by Hua Qing. It’s very strong. If you see the painting in person, you’ll be impressed by the strength of brushstrokes and the deliberate handling of dripping paint of the gorilla. The animal looks as vivid as if it’s alive. I also like the clean and clear background with a lot of space which makes the gorilla much more outstanding.

I decided to take a break to buy more paintings, but I could not stop when I saw this painting, it was too much strong and matched so well in my collection that I could not pass through.

True, Hua Qing is an unknown painter despite he was born in 1962 and I do not find so much information in Internet, but his series with the apes is incredible strong and smart.

What a surprise when I  undercover the painting when arrived at home. It suppose to be for me a quite flat painting, but not. My surprise arrived when the strokes hurt me, Osage Gallery staff already advice me about that, but in real the strokes are very strong and the colors much more powerful than the picture you can see and  which I saw when I decided to buy it. So, big surprise and big satisfaction. See details below, if I could have enough words in English to explain it. The work is like Duan Jianghua strokes, but now in color, really great, I like this paintings where you can see really the strokes, the work of the artist.

In another point of view of the painting you have to remember also than they are in extinction, and we are the responsible of that. The painting will remember me that the man is the responsible of what happens in the Earth and we have to fight to preserve it. In this case, you/we can help them at:
