A little about the artist:
He Neng graduated from art school in his native China in 1965, right at the start of the Cultural Revolution. From 1966 to 1976, Chinese people were put through an immense repression of ideas that were believed to have Western influence. Intellectuals and artists were often reassigned to agricultural communes and even sent to prison. When Mao Zedong died, the Cultural Revolution essentially died with him. What was next to come was a new kind or revolution-a Chinese renaissance in art. A great deal of that renaissance was headed by a group of artists from the Yunnan School of Art which He Neng was a part of it. He creates painting that capture the Yunnan style, with an infusion of traditional Chinese Elements with modern expressionism. Some of his art references to Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall and Joan Micro. He Neng has held more than 100 successful gallery and museum exhibitions in America, Japan, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. He is considered one of the most celebrated contemporary Chinese artists today.
