Mr. Zhu Mingde, Ink Painting show. Mr. Zhu, called ¡§a living
national artistic treasure¡¨ in Beijing, presents a show of up to 10
contemporary versions of Chinese traditional Ink Paintings (colored and
black-and-white) on the quintessentially Chinese motif, FISH. The show presents seemingly endless variations integrating fish motifs
with other images (including other fish).
Aesthetic masterpieces by themselves, the fish motif is also central to
many facets of China, including without limitation its cuisine, livelihood,
ingenuity, and iconography.
According to Mr. Zhu, each painting is typically imbued with several
layers of meaning, despite the seeming ease (but juxtaposed combination of
care) with which each masterpiece is composed.
Mr. Li Yaolin, Traditional Chinese Painting, represented by his painting
entitled, Fragrance. The flower¡¦s
beauty and aroma and symbolism of integrity and prosperity are presented to you
by color, shape and the stroke of the brush. A graduate of China Central
Fine Art Institute, he presented a single artist exhibit entitled City
Soul, and his works are collected by both Chinese and Western collectors.
Ms. Jin
Na, Traditional Chinese Painting,
represented by her work about Xishuangbanna,
an area of Yunnan Province inhabited by Chinese minority people. It is about
the undying power of nature and the beautiful blending of people with
nature. She is Assistant
Professor at Qinghua University School of Fine Arts and authored many books
on Chinese Traditional Painting, including, Bird and Flower Painting From
Song Dynasty and Realistic Painting of Birds and Flowers.
Mr. He
Kangmin, photographer,
In 1991, his photo won the second prize in the National News Photos Competition
theme on Asian Games. In 1994, he won the first prize in Beijing News Photo
Contest. In 2002, his photo works on Chang¡¦an Street of Beijing was collected
by Capital Library. In 2003, he received the award from the City government for
both his art and his integrity. In 2004, Beijing Worker¡¦s Union and Beijing
Cultural Administration conferred the title ¡§Worker Artist¡¨ on him. In 2007 he
received award from both the Beijing City construction Group and BFLA for his
great contribution towards the prosperity of Beijing art sector.
Mr. Gao
Dongsheng, snuff bottle painting (folk art, painting inside a miniature
bottle). The title ¡§Folk Artist¡¨ was bestowed on him by UNESCO in 1996. He
participated in culture exchange activities in USA, Canada, Britain, Italy,
Denmark and Spain and painted portraits for both UK Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher and the Queen of Denmark. . CfaACF09PromoCombo10109WkspAriel
