Taught by Japanese art master Kinichiro Ishikawa, Li Ze Fan dedicated his career in water painting ever since. He formed an outdoor sketching club with his high school mates and became friends with Ni Jiang Huai, Lan Yin Ding and Chen Ying Sheng. Later, he was hired to teach at National Taiwan Normal University and National Taiwan University of Arts with a lifetime achievement in arts.

《Streetscape》is presented in a see through skill that brings the viewer’s gaze into the middle of the picture. The blue and greenish western building is the focus of the painting. The entire picture is presented with a greenish tone to bring out the red vehicles on the block. It is a trademark of “a single red in the midst of thick foliage”, bringing a lively atmosphere into this tranquil and peaceful street.
