| Welcome to my website. Here you can find samples of my art throughout the years. My style changed considerably, but now I have found a style that really suits me. We call it Shanghai Expressionism, influenced by European expressionists and cubists, but with a distinctive Shanghainese soul in the selection of themes. I would prefer that you look at my current style first, by clicking on RECENT WORK. Before I found my current style, I painted in a variety of different styles, ranging from impressionism to early experiments with expressionism. In particular, for a few years I worked on a series of rather nostalgic paintings based on the subject of Old Shanghai, including the qipao or cheonsam dresses that the Shanghai girls used to wear. You can see a selection of my older work by clicking PREVIOUS WORK. |
| Although colourful oil paintings are by far the most important in my output, I also like to try other art forms. The most important of these is Chinese ink, for which I use the traditional techniques that I learned in China, including my stay at the Beijing University. However, I use a more modern and personal approach to the themes, creating a strong link to my Shanghai Expressionist oil paintings. Click CHINESE INK for an overview of my work with this technique. Perhaps of interest for fellow artists only is the section TECHNIQUE, where I illustrate with details from my work how I create my art. Finally, I am an enthusiastic photographer, and my artistic point of view is of course frequently reflected in the themes of the pictures I take. You can see a selection of my photographs by clicking PHOTOGRAPHY. |
