| Description: Hong Tao worked in a railway engine manufactory in the early 1970s, seething industry in modern time is his source of creativity. His poetic mood and artistic conception abstracted from manufactural scene, fined under his brush and graver. Colourful working procedures are the happy life in China, but the vibrant dynamism suggests the China's rapid development and unbalanced economic growth. |
