As a Wuhan-based artist, I have work on traditional Chinese painting for over two decades. Several years before, I was influenced by American Abstract Expressionism and broke away from conventional pattern. Inspired by the gestural paintings of Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Joan Mitchell, I am exploring the possibility of mixing Abstract Expressionism with traditional Chinese painting.

Working in galleries and art institutions before 2009, now an abstract painting artist.
