Red Balloon

Description

Red Balloon (fine art canvas) by Mian Situ

In China, red is considered the most auspicious color, bringing prosperity, honor and good fortune. At the turn of the twentieth century, Chinese immigrants to the United States incorporated American traditions and inventions with their own. This young boy is fortunate enough to have a red balloon of his own, marked with the flag of his new homeland. Mian Situ’s evocative, award-winning portraits cross cultural boundaries and resonate with the universal human experience.

Mian Situ has a way of capturing pure joy in his paintings.
