I love Gu He's paintings.Just like his good friend Guo Geng, his paintings are full of the southern Tai

Yang, sunflowers, passionate hues that can almost burn.But it's not all fantasy and romance, but from the desolate grassland or the simple faces of people who have been forgotten by the world here.His paintings, a cypress tree or a pair of broken leather boots, he poured all his enthusiasm into, and then He had to go crazy.
