专家说明

The inscription, with the title Pleasantly Out of Control Again, reads:
'When I embarked upon this painting it wasn't intended to be quite so grand, nor was it supposed to use up quite so much of the expensive red colour. It has a few problems which are still unresolved, some awkwardness and rough edges, but it works. A bit like this new kitchen really.
Inscribed for Ling and Bob at the Water Pine & Stone Retreat Hong Kong, September 1994 and painted at Old Surrey Hall, Summer 1993.'
The inscription is followed by a red seal with the Chinese name of the artist.

British artist, dealer and author Hugh Moss creates unique paintings which utilise traditional Chinese techniques of brush and ink, and is known as master of his hall ‘the Water, Pine and Stone Retreat’. Moss was exposed to Chinese art at a young age, as his father Sydney L. Moss was a distinguished London dealer of Chinese art. Moss set up his own business in London before relocating to Hong Kong, and recently authored The Art of Understanding Art: a New Perspective, London, 2015.
