Dear... by Xu Yang is an oil painting on linen created in 2019 that employs the classical support medium of stretched linen canvas. The work's mysterious title suggests intimacy and personal address while remaining deliberately vague and open to interpretation. Through the careful application of oil paint, the artist creates a composition that invites contemplation and emotional resonance. The choice of linen as a support reinforces the work's connection to traditional painting practices while maintaining contemporary relevance.
