This captivating four piece canvas art set has has a surreal, mysterious and modern edge. The simplistic forms and structured (somewhat calligraphic) style is characteristic of the Oriental arts – Particularly the traditional arts of China and Japan. However, the bold colors and more abstract, expressive approach to the work places Bonsai Moon very much in the contemporary arts.

Toward the end of the seventeenth century Chinese artists began what could be termed as an artistic rebellion. Somewhat akin to the early Impressionist and abstract artists of the late eighteenth and nineteenth century they wanted freedom from the restrictions of the traditional, classic arts to be individual and expressive. By the late eighteen hundreds a utterly new, bold and expressive style emerged. By the twentieth century artists began to reintroduce some of the more traditional approaches to the arts once more.

A combination of modern contemporary and traditional approaches has been brought together in Bonsai Moon. Today this bold and freehand style is very popular with those who prefer modern contemporary wall art with an Oriental flavor. Bonsai Moon would create an eye catching focal point and particularly suit more modern and contemporary interiors. A brave work of art that makes a style statement.
