"On the Other Side" by Chen Junjun is a captivating painting that draws the viewer into a mystical and dreamy realm. The composition features a prominent white horse in the foreground, skillfully creating the illusion that the viewer is right behind the horse, poised to embark on a journey.

The white horse, with a gentle and inviting gaze directed toward the viewer, appears as if it wants to serve as a guide, inviting the viewer to cross over to the other side. In the background, a serene body of water separates the viewer from the distant shore. The predominant chromatic palette consists of soft hues of blue and white, which contribute to the dreamy and mystical atmosphere of the painting.

Notably, the composition is carefully balanced both in terms of color and composition. The opposite shore, with its darker tones, serves as a grounding element, providing compositional equilibrium to the entire artwork. This shore also establishes a horizontal line that contrasts with the vertical suggested by the positioning of the horse, further enhancing the overall visual balance.
