The individual approach of artist Zhu Minggao perfectly mixes the West*s realistic style with the abstract expression of Chinese landscape paintings. Yet his works are evidences of not just his mellow technique, but also his emotional attachment to his hometown in Guizhou*s rural area. A sensitive and romantic character, Zhu creates a lonely, tranquil feeling out of the beautiful scenery marked by clear sky, white clouds, green hills, country road and garden.
