The most prominent features of the painting style from Hong Ling’s maturity period are the smooth and overlapping color blocks，intense color points，and the beautiful landscape image interwoven by short brushes approaching the points. The wrinkling approach using ink spots with lines in traditional landscape painting is appreciated by literati painters，who value the aesthetics of calligraphic lines and their intervals. This approach was us
Hong Ling employ the “points” in traditional Chinese paintings as a fundamental element for presentation，where the images formed by rubbing and overlapping express the feelings rather than objects in the mind of artists. In his work，Foggy Autumn Melody，the intense short brushes reproduced the autumn view turning from yellow to red color，supported by a large clear lake with a crystal clear sensation.

Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2015 China Guardian in Hong Kong held the auction 20th Century and Contemporary Chinese Art, which included the work Hub In The Snow by Hong Ling. The price achieved of HKD 236,000.00 (€ 27,571.09) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hong Ling achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Late Autumn in November 2015 with an auction result of HKD 3,640,000.00 (€ 444,574.89).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2015 führte China Guardian in Hong Kong die Auktion 20th Century and Contemporary Chinese Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Hub In The Snow von Hong Ling zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 236.000,00 (€ 27.571,09) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hong Ling erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Late Autumn im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 3.640.000,00 (€ 444.574,89).
