March 28 | Chinese & Himalayan Works of Art

This sale will feature masterworks from Chinese artists Liu Dan and Wu Changshuo. “Liu Dan is an artist who has continued to be incredibly inspirational to fellow Chinese painters. From the striking attention to detail, to the range of unique influences that shaped his work, Liu stands out from other artists,” said Hindman Vice President & Senior Specialist of Asian Works of Art Annie Wu.

Liu Dan (b. 1953-) is a true innovator in ink painting. Although Liu worked during a generation known for great artistic talent, he still managed to make a significant mark in the category. From 1978 to 1981, Liu learned traditional painting from Ya Ming at the Jiangsu Academy of Chinese Painting in Hangzhou. After moving to Hawaii in 1981, Liu further developed his skills as a painter. In 1992 he moved to New York, and eventually made his way back to China in 2006. The combination of his traditional Chinese art studies and work in the United States have resulted in a distinct style, featuring incredible detail and composition. The work to be offered is a strong display of the impact of these influences.
