About the Item

His teachers soon recognized his talent and within a year he was sent to Shin Nin Geka, which was a special school for gifted children. At the age of 15 David was sent to the Canton School of Art, where he became one of the first Chinese artist to paint oils in the traditional Western manner. By the time he was twenty years old, David was on e of the major forces in the new style of painting. But because the Chinese government controlled all the media, including all artistic endeavors, David could not paint the subjects he chose nor in the style her wanted. So, in the name of artistic freedom, David was forced to flee his beloved country. In 1969 he walked away from his life in China and when to Hong Kong where he soon became a well established artist with his own studio. In August of 1977, David left Hong Kong to come to the United States to begin a new chapter in his life. In dealing with his artwork, David has said that he attempts to give each one of his paintings a life of its own. He achieves this through the bold use of his palette knife and with his choice of vibrant colors. If there is a message to be found in his art, David says that it is in the life and vitality he attempts to express in his painting.
