Lotus Flower, watercolor, signed l/r,
21" x 15" unframed.
About the Painting: Very good condition; purchased from the artist's
agent.
About the Artist: Zhang Xuanzeng was born in 1954. He lives
in Niudong and is a member of the Peasant
Painting Association of Huxian township in
Shaanxi. He is, also, an Artist Member of
Xi'an Association. Zhang has won awards in
exhibitions throughout China, and has shown
internationally. Notable works include Red Chinese Sorghum, Mentioning Water and Fighting a Drought, and Herding and Returning.
Note: This beautiful painting is painted by the
artist / peasant living in Huxian, which
is a small county located in Shaanxi province
- the center part of China. Huxian is about
40 kms away from the Ancient Chinese Capital
- Xian (where the famous underground army
of Terra-Cotta Warriors & Horses were
found ).These painters are a group of farmers
who started painting in the 1950s, and have
since gained national and international fame.
The most outstanding feature of the paintings
is that they vividly depict aspects of daily
life in the countryside, their work activities,
lively festivals, special events, celebrations
and colorful local costumes by using simple
painting techniques. The paintings are bold
and whimsical. Their works of art reflect
their feelings, their thoughts, their wishes
for the future, customs and the beauty they
see in the world around them. Each painting
is the result of the artists' industrious
labour and each has its own individual painting
style. Their style can be described as primitive,
with child-like figures and bright colors
which are not always true to life.
