It is widely admitted that Zhou Sicong’s paintings-style is fresh, elegant, restrained but with great strength. This style is more likely to be the natural expression of her art’s temperament while the paintings are the narrations of her life. She paints with her thoughts but not some sudden excitements. There are few Chinese contemporary artists who could combine rational thinking and sincere emotions reasonably which make her work profound but natural.
Tortured by disease and illness, Zhou Sicong paints lotus flowers and wood-women while bearing great pains. But she turns the world of pains and struggle into a tranquil and quiet one. And that’s why her lotus and wood-women always look sad and sorrowful。Being sincere, insistent, pure and fond of thinking, Zhou Sicong holds back her painful feelings and creates those wonderful realms. It is a “tranquil world” created by an artist with a really unbalanced world in her mind.
