Маленький мальчик 2006

Created in 2006, "Маленький мальчик" (Little Boy) is a large-scale oil painting by renowned Chinese artist Zeng Fanzhi. This powerful work exemplifies Fanzhi's signature style, characterized by loose brushstrokes and a melancholic atmosphere. The figure of the boy, barely visible amidst a dense thicket of branches, evokes a sense of isolation and vulnerability. Fanzhi's works often explore themes of childhood, identity, and the human condition, prompting viewers to contemplate the complexities of individual experience.
