Wang Dachuan 王大川

Wang Dachuan, chairman of the China Art Association, is especially well known as a landscape artist. His early studies were at the Luxun Art Institute.

His landscapes reveal a vibrant, dynamic sense of nature. His skies and mountains are dramatic and vigorous brushwork captures this quality. His use of ink washes heightens the mood in each painting and illustrates his vibrant color palette.
