Artist(s): TONG Zhan Hai
Date: 9 Jan - 28 Feb 2010

We highly recommend a feeling of excitement to the audience the peasant painter Tong Zhan-hai.  A child he was fond of painting, but because closed born in a poor village, so he had no access to painting. He let the sheep, and planted, the burnt lime, have also been teaching the villagers to do. In the 35-year-old accidentally received interest from the newspapers, the Central Academy of Fine Arts oil painting study of students enrolled message, then the seller even went so far as to relatives and friends borrow desperate come to the Central Academy of Fine Arts. This had no basis, completely from scratch, students, have not been scared off a difficult course, but to significantly extraordinary perseverance, obstinately in a year's time, the initial grasp of independent paint capabilities, and show a connection public feeling and art of painting in different temperament. After completing his return to the village, while continuing in the town government, the side with great hard-working spirit, persist in painting, make constant progress, since 1993, has been painting for more than four pieces.

Tong Zhan-hai has always insisted on the scene and paint it with deep love, to integrate itself in nature, the nature and melt again in his mind, wait senselessly drifted simple attachment, without the slightest affectation, his own unique vision of the homeland, in the ordinary farmhouse home, plants, sunlight, air, give birth to proudly vitality, his work reminds us of Miller, the same as each other Barbizon spirit, and this spirit in the pursuit of the style of today been XU long Xu long been out of practice of our professional artists.

Tong Zhan-hai in the year can learn oil painting techniques is very limited, perhaps It was this that made him to paint without baggage, he's free to enable him to paint the picture of colorful, seamless as the 96-year in the sense of actually painting a muddy together to achieve an amazing level.

Tong Zhan-hai has developed a taste for color, his works often show a special sensitivity for his color, and its unique way of expression so that it works maturity.

Tong Zhan-hai is a literate new farmers, although the 35-year-old began to study painting, but it is in the realist-based education into the modern art. This makes him different from the previous peasant painter, for all these changes, Tong Zhan-hai road undoubtedly has a special significance.

Tong Zhan-hai involved in the art market, after all, only five or six years, his work has not been completely put off its original state, however, the competitive industry, with his spirit, with his true feelings for their homeland, in the out of the closed state, his future will be even greater success.
