Born in Tianjin, China, in 1942, he is a lone spirit travelling between two cultures, between two worlds. In his evolution as an artist, this master painter has assimilated elements of Western art and combined them with Eastern tradition in his own intuitive style. Reaching within, his soul becomes the palette onto which he breathes his dreams in vivid colors, shapes and patterns that tell a story.
An acclaimed artist in his native land, he was the Associate Professor of Oil Painting in Institute of Fine Arts, a Fellow of the Beijing Oil Painting Society and a member of the All China Artists Society. He jointly published Oil Painting Techniques with the Deputy Dean of the Central Institute. Widely collected and admired throughout the People’s Republic of China, his work can be found in the Tianjin Institute of Fine Arts, Nanjing Art Gallery, Guangzhou Art Gallery and the Anhui Art Gallery.
In his paintings, he seeks to speak a truth – a truth that searches for “that one clear spot past a life that is contradictory and chaotic”. Hence his creations have a quiet, still beauty over which are transposed layers of contradicting patters and free-floating forms – characters, birds, circles, squares, faces, cards, Yet somehow, they float in harmony, unencumbered by all of life’s confusion.
With his first series of paintings, he creates a new story within each painting, but he doesn’t tell it to us like this story. He suggests, symbolizes, implies, so that we, the viewers, can take our own interpretive journey merely guided by his insight – the insight of a modern-day master who spans two cultures, who creates a pathway and beckons us to follow.
