On the Field of Hope | 在希望的田野上
Oil on canvas · 76 × 76 cm · 2019
On the Field of Hope | 在希望的田野上 depicts the rural landscape near Jingmin Ren’s hometown in China. Across rolling fields, distant mountains and a small village, vivid bands of green, yellow and red transform a familiar countryside into a landscape filled with memory and emotional energy.
The title refers to the well-known Chinese song On the Field of Hope | 在希望的田野上, whose celebration of rural life, cultivation and optimism resonates with the spirit of the painting. For Ren, the landscape is both a recollection of home and a reflection on the enduring relationship between people and the land.
Through its expansive fields, pathways and radiant sky, the painting expresses growth, renewal and confidence in the future. The countryside becomes more than a physical location: it is a place where personal memory and collective hope meet.
