Balance and Strength

Cen Long's Oeuvre - Balance and Strength

Balance and Strength, like his previous works, reflects Cen’s enduring respect to sea-faring people, but on top of that, portrays the all-encompassing nature of the ocean. By depicting the women’s graceful movements and forceful physique, Cen’s figures transcend their characterization, they are more than fisherwoman. They are also symbolic embodiments of the spirit of the ocean - a spirit of plain and humble humanity, but one that is also grand and full of greatness.
