About the Item

Nocturnal Melody 26 is a unique painting by contemporary artist Hongyu Zhang. The painting is made with Indian Ink, acrylic, charcoal, pastel and engraving on grey cardboard mounted on stetcher. Dimensions are 194 × 130 cm (76.4 × 51.2 in). Framed dimensions are 200 x 135 cm (78.7 × 53.2 in). The artwork is signed, sold framed (black shadow box) and comes with a certificate of authenticity. This striking mixed-media work offers an abstract interpretation of galloping horses, brought to life through a rich combination of techniques. Executed on grey cardboard mounted on a stretcher, the composition features a highly textured surface that captures the viewer’s attention through its dynamic gestures and layered materials. Fragments of equine forms emerge from bold, angular strokes, suggesting motion and disintegration. Flashes of intense orange punctuate the largely monochrome palette, injecting energy and urgency into the dark, atmospheric background. Ink and charcoal lines deliver a strong graphic presence, while soft touches of pastel introduce rhythm and nuance, balancing tension with subtlety. Etched and collaged elements add further depth, creating a tactile surface charged with emotion and meaning. The overall effect is one of equilibrium between spontaneity and structure, drawing the viewer into a dreamlike, mythic space where abstraction and figuration seamlessly converge.

Artist Comments
"This painting was inspired by the idea that we are shaped by outside forces, but remain unchanged, we persist in the face of adversity," says Shao. "It is what makes us human." Shao's energetic paintings of stallions explore and illustrate movement through nature. This work represents an immigrant's journey, filled with strength and perseverance. Shao incorporates both contemporary watercolor and traditional ink calligraphy styles into this series of oil paintings.

Artist Comments
This painting was inspired by the idea that we are shaped by outside forces, but remain unchanged, we persist in the face of adversity. It is what makes us human. My energetic oil paintings of stallions explore and illustrate movement through nature. This work represents an immigrant journey or strength and perseverance. I incorporate both contemporary (watercolor) and traditional (ink calligraphy) painting styles into this series.
