Description:
A striking horizontal composition by Chao Zheng, centering on a lighthouse positioned in the left third of the canvas. The lighthouse, rendered in bold white and red, commands attention against the moody backdrop of a dark, stormy sky. The sky's richly textured surface bursts with intense hues of dark blue, green, indigo, and mauve, showcasing the artist's masterful use of layered technique. This dramatic contrast between the vivid lighthouse and the richly hued sky creates a visually compelling piece, where simplicity in composition emphasizes the artist's technical precision while maintaining harmony and depth.
