Nocturnal Melody 25 is a figurative painting by Chinese contemporary artist Hongyu Zhang.
This striking work is a mixed-media composition that combines Indian ink, acrylic, charcoal, pastel, and etching. Executed on grey cardboard mounted on canvas, the piece reveals a richly textured surface that amplifies its sense of depth and complexity.
The imagery suggests abstracted silhouettes of horses in motion, conveyed through bold, energetic strokes. A powerful contrast emerges between the luminous whites and pale beige fragments that stand out against the dense black background, while sharp orange accents punctuate the composition with vibrancy and tension.
The graphic intensity of ink and charcoal is softened and enlivened by the fluid vibrancy of pastel, which introduces movement and rhythm. Delicate etched details further enrich the surface, adding a tactile dimension. The result is an artwork that balances force and disorder with technical mastery, offering a visual experience that is both compelling and emotionally resonant.
This work is signed and sold framed. Dimensions of the framed artwork: 135 x 102 cm.
