Erotic Village Series depicts mainly Chinese women in rural and village architectural settings. Court ladies taken from classical Chinese novels or legends are sometimes adopted. The subjects are usually surrounded by garden or farm settings which resemble old courtyards and evoke a sense of mystique and concealment. The splendour of traditional costume is thoughtfully juxtaposed with a parade of discoloured brick walls and ancient temples, contrasting the presence and the past. The influence of Chinese folk art is evident in the dense primary colours, but one could also trace this technique to the tenth century tomb paintings found at Dunhuang.
