Maybe washing your car isn’t such a great idea after all, not if it got so dirty you can turn its windshields into real canvasses. Maybe, just maybe, instead of finally washing it you should try to make something better of that thick layer of dust and create a meaningful piece for a change.
Or maybe you will never afford spending that much time on whatever you do, no matter how beautiful and creative it is. But the Chinese artist in question is a 67-year old retired teacher so he sure can afford the time for doing whatever he wishes. And since he is quite interested in painting and calligraphy, Xiao Xiangzhong also has what is needed to actually make sure the job is properly done.
The talented man was seen while working in Chengdu, Sichuan province recently and soon enough got famous as the images of his work were getting a lot of appreciation on social networks. To prove he is actual the creator of the lovely traditional art pictures, the retired high school teacher was asked to draw one at sight. To the reporters' amazement, it only took about five minutes for the talented man to finish one of his creations.
Last time we saw an artists turning dusty cars into moving canvasses we were reporting about a British artist from Lancaster, England who actually was using his finger to scribe into the layer of dirt built-up from exhaust emissions. As opposed to the 36-year old painter, however, the Chinese teacher isn't an actual artist, but sure draws like one.
