'Gilly'squidges' is an additional piece in the 'Jellysquidge' series. This paintings are inspired by the freedom within creation, combined with the feeling of joyful nostalgia. The playful brush strokes throughout the body of the painting contrast with the precise, careful strokes of the chinese characters.

 

Poem in the painting (reads from left to right, top to bottom):

 

面朝大海,春暖花开 Facing the Sea, with Spring Blossom by 海子(Hai Zi)

 

从明天起, 做一个幸福的人

Starting tomorrow, I will be a happy person

 

喂马, 劈柴, 周游世界

Feed a horse, split logs, travel the world

 

从明天起, 关心粮食和蔬菜

Starting tomorrow, I will care for crops and vegetables

 

我有一所房子, 面朝大海, 春暖花开

I have a house; it faces the sea, and flowers bloom in spring warmth

 

从明天起, 和每一个亲人通信

Starting tomorrow, I will contact every relative

 

告诉他们我的幸福

to tell them about my happiness.

 

那幸福的闪电告诉我的

As that lightning bolt of happiness told me

 

我将告诉每一个人

I will tell each and every person

 

给每一条河每一座山取一个温暖的名字

Give every river and every mountain a warmhearted name

 

陌生人, 我也为你祝福

As for strangers, I wish you happiness too

 

愿你有一个灿烂的前程

I wish you a glittering future

 

愿你有情人终成眷属

I wish you a lover who becomes a spouse

 

愿你在尘世获得幸福

I wish that you obtain happiness in this world

 

我只愿面朝大海, 春暖花开

I wish only to face the sea, where flowers bloom in spring warmth
