This stunningly vibrant woodcut - like all of Ren Hui’s masterful works - draws you in, and then asks you to step back and take a second look. Entitled "Smile," the charming woodcut resembles a smattering of red flecked with white when viewed up close, but from afar a three smiling faces begin to take form. The artist uses a method of modern pointillism, creating three-dimensional space within a two-dimensional canvas, while managing to beautifully simplify complex subjects.

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
