New York Meets Shanghai

This is a commission from Coach to paint a piece about traveling in Shanghai and New York for the store wall for the new store opening in the town of Florence in Shanghai.

When creating the piece, I knew I needed to paint it as it really was, but I also recognized that it was full of imaginative and misinterpreted interpretations. 

So I wanted to show some part of the cultural fusion, for example, in New York, there is Chinatown and dim sum, and in Shanghai, there is the Bund and bread. In my opinion, cultural mobility and globalization are inevitable, and true self-confidence and dissemination require tolerance and love above all.
