Catalogue Note

Born in Yinchuan, Ningxia, Tai Xiangzhou has built a solid foundation in the arts and culture of China: calligraphy with Wang Wenjun and Hu Gongshi, the restoration of ancient Chinese painting with Cui Yurun and Li Zhenjiang, research in paper-making techniques of Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties at the Archaeology Academy of Beijing, a Doctorate from the Art Academy of Qinghua and the study of classical Chinese painting under Liu Dan. From this foundation he has built a distinctive and self-assured style that infuses his lyrical, expressive landscapes, virtuosi rock paintings and his restrained calligraphy. Tai has had solo and group exhibitions at the Sharjah Calligraphy Museum, U.A.E., Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, Today Art Museum, Beijing. His work is in the collections of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, the Sackler Museum, Harvard University, and the Sackler Museum of Art and Archaeology, Beijing University, and as well as major private collections in Asia, Europe and the United States.
