Lan Zhenghui, born in Sichuan en 1959, is an abstract ink brush painter who graduated from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. Now living in Toronto, he has a long history of exploring and creating abstract art and contemporary ink brush.
Lan Zhenghui’s monumental paintings and striking use of black ink reflect his constant pursuit of expression and feeling. His works are “emotional bursts on paper” characterized by an abstract ink-splash style. Influenced by his background in science, Lan’s aesthetic moves deftly between the realms of the rational and irrational. His brushstrokes are created by systemic body movements, which contribute to the visual and spiritual impact of the works with the swelling of muscle, blood and physical power.
Lan’s work transmits the “strokes” of traditional Chinese calligraphy into the “structure” of modern painting, the “freehand” of traditional Chinese painting into the “expression” of modern painting, and replaces the “chi” found in Chinese ink brush tradition with his own “heavy ink” approach.
