Bird and Foliage painting is a 1991 ink by Kyung Bo 한경보 Han, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a few birds perched on branches, surrounded by loose, ink-blot leaves. The background is mostly plain white, with just a hint of color in the shadows. The brushstrokes are quick and uneven, like splashes of water. The artist used ink in different shades to show light and dark spots on the leaves. The birds look simple but stand out against the messy branches. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
Kyung Bo’s ink painting *Bird and Foliage* (1991) belongs to a living tradition of East Asian brushwork.
