'Just Before the Weighted Feather Drops' by Ellie Wang

The oil painting captures the energy, movement, and rhythm of Jianzi, a popular Chinese game, through dynamic composition and expressive brushwork. Created by emerging mixed-media painter Ellie Wang, the work draws on her Chinese heritage alongside influences from music and her experience as an instrumentalist. The piece reflects an observational approach, translating the continuous activity of the game into a layered visual narrative.
