Mother Sick in Bed, by Zhang Xiaoqin [Photo/Artron.net] |
The sketch of the painter's mother is stored deep in the drawer, and Zhang never took it out for any exhibition and contest. The painting portrays her mother in a not-so-beautiful moment, although it is the most important commemoration for her. When Zhang's mother was sick in 2005, Zhang stayed with her every day. One day when her mother fell asleep while having an intravenous drip, Zhang, realizing that her mother may leave the world anytime, drew her mother's image on her canvas.
