Japanese women, Chinese women, Thai women, Korean women - yes, in general, Europeans associate all Asians with something cute and pleasant, because they look like little affectionate cats that you want to caress and pet. However, each of them has its own secrets, which may not be understood by Europeans due to a completely different mentality and culture. For example, in Dandong, the Chinese province of Liaoning, where the artist was born and raised Liu Bao Jun, not only men but also women smoke. There is such a cultural tradition in this region, where excellent tobacco grows, and even 18-year-old girls have smoking pipes. This feature of Chinese culture is reflected in the paintings of this author. Here we see not those beautiful and graceful Chinese women with tiny legs, as we imagine them, but puffy ladies of a peculiar appearance who completely and completely surrender to their vicious hobby.
Yes, these ladies are fat and ugly, but how harmonious they look, how they enjoy themselves and their pastime! At such moments, a recognized beauty will envy them, who can hardly afford to look so relaxed and uninhibited.
The artist reflects on the canvas not only traditional Chinese images - he adds European style and Western culture to them, and does it so skillfully that the paintings look very harmonious and distinctive. These and other paintings can be seen at the Liu Bao Jun Gallery.
