Youth by Zhao Qian Xu 702. Youth: original oil painting on canvas by Zhao Qian Xu (Xu Zhao Qian) (2004)

In reality, modern Chinese girls love to pose.  You will see them taking photos of each other, everywhere, or even snapping photos of themselves with their cell phones, always in some sort of posed position.  Indeed, this pose, wistful, is of one of the standard repertoire that I have observed, time and again.

That said, it is really a slice of life in modern China, and Xu has captured it so nicely, in this portrait.  While his expertise at realism is demonstrated in his painting of the girl, his sense of composition is shown in the softness of the background, which is also on the ethereal-abstract side, a technique that he prefers.

"Four Elements of Nature" watercolor by Chen Cai Yin 602. Four Elements of Nature: original watercolor painting by Cai Yin Chen (Chen Cai Yin), 2008

Li Zheng Tian has his students do studies of various things.  In this series of four studies: quartz crystals, lightning above a distant shoreline, fire, and a crashing wave, four elements of nature.  We looked at all of the studies done by Li's students, and we liked this one by Cai Yin Chen (Chen Cai Yin) the best.  We think that she has done a wonderful job, both in color and technique, especially, given the topics and the medium. (For an additional charge, we can ship these studies, framed, as shown; please inquire by phone or email).

Venice Canal by Meng Liu 710. Venice Canal, original oil painting on canvas by Meng Liu (2002)

As an Italian, in China, in the art business, I am always glad to find Chinese paintings of others parts of the world, especially from the Mediterranean.

Meng Liu has traveled in Europe, and, like a true artist, he has recorded some of his memories in paintings.  This is one of several that he painted in Venice, and we just loved the colors: after all, the colors of our gallery's logo are the primary colors, which also dominate this painting.  It is even more precious because China is also famous for its water villages, and Chinese painters have done many paintings of them, like of the one that we have here, in Guangzhou, called Xiaozhou.

Meng Liu is a fine artist from the old norther Chinese capital of Shenyang.  He did many paintings in impressionistic styles in the late 1990's to early 2000's, and we are very impressed by his style in those with this one as a good example.

We offer several paintings by Meng Liu (Liu Meng), in the Leona Craig Catalogue Art Gallery.  To see all of them, just click on: Meng Liu Page.

Fighter of the Snow by Dapu 729. Fighter of the Snow, original oil painting by Dapu (Zhang Ai Min; Ai Min Zhang) 2010

Dapu has recently been moving into a style of abstract impressionism and expressionism, and this painting is a wonderful example of his new repertoire.  The haoniu cattle that can survive the environment of Himalayas and the Tibetan plateau are hardy with shaggy coats, and they must be snow fighters.

It is a beautiful painting of a symbol of life on the modern Tibetan plateau.  The bold excited brushstrokes show Dapu's excitement and how he waned to express and convey his feelings to us.  We appreciate his efforts and we appreciate the wonderful style that he has developed into, lately.

Winter in Hainan by Jin Ming Li 718. Winter in Hainan: original watercolor painting by Jin Ming Li (1980)

Jin Ming Li has been making paintings, all of his life.  Much like other people take photographs of scenes that they like or to create memories, Li has simply painted them, sometimes, on the spot with whatever materials were available, or later from memory.  Many of them, like this one, are small sized, but the small size only serves to make them more precious and to demonstrate the true ability and soul of an artist.  In fact, one of the books of his paintings is dedicated to his collection of these small paintings, and this is one of those included in the book.  The colors are just beautiful.

This one was done three decades ago on a visit to Hainan Island, off the southern coast of China, in the winter time.  Li said that he was so delighted to find that the weather was still so warn, in the winter, and that there were so many birds.  He painted it in an expressionistic style, using pink for the sky to express the happiness that he felt, in such a wondrous place. It is not only a piece of his history but, also, of China's, in that Hainan Island has recently been slated for development, and it will never be the paradise that it was back then.  The colors are just beautiful.
