ARTIST BIO

(b. 1961, CHINA)

 

Using pixilation technique and little vibrant colors, Cao have added depth to his work with his knowledge and understanding of the ancient art of ink painting. The results are works with effortless integration of the old and the new techniques, combining heightened sense of emotion and a strong feeling of nostalgia. These works are to be appreciated from afar. Coming too close, they dissolve before your eyes like haze and mist in an ink painting.
