Yee Bon is another artist who made many attempts and experimented with Chinese ink on Chinese rice paper with Chinese writing brush when creating oil painting. To Yee Bon, the reason of doing this is not to become a Chinese art painter but to transfer the techniques in traditional Chinese ink painting to oil painting in order to establish the nation's own artistic characters. The composition of Yee Bon's Landscape (Lot 1158) is close to the multi-point perspective in traditional Chinese painting, unrolling from pathways in the mountain through the woods, crossing miles of mountains far away and going beyond the clouds. Yee Bon successfully incorporated the composition technique in Chinese ink painting into oil painting to depict a wide angle of view on canvas and to capture the nature without boundary. It demonstrates the artist's open mind and aspirations. Yee Bon uses different tones of green colour to delineate the complicated rays of light and the change of colour in nature. Via delighted and sharp brushstrokes, the green colours complement each other and render the brilliant scenery.
