$295.00
Combining expert technical proficiency, deconstructing to the essence, and a little charming ruggedness is this original vintage portrait. Signed Loco, this detail rendering begins unraveling into lines of graphite, showing an interest of experimentation. A broad swath of salmon is married to the subject’s tone, as a clever use of light wraps from his temple to the clenched jaw adding dimension the the subject’s features. Perfect for collector’s of pulp novella, and mid century style illustration.

He worked in an advertising agency as a graphic artist until he applied for Guangzhou Academy of Fine Art, where he was one of 32 accepted out of over 2,000 applicants. One of 16 students of Western style oil painting, he studied landscapes and small villages. He participated in the National Art Exhibition and made waves when he did not create government propaganda, but rather painted a village wedding illuminated by candlelight. He received much media attention, leading to his art being recognized and shown at an international level. He became a professor at Guangzhou Academy of Fine Art, a high honor, where he taught for seven years. He immigrated to the United States once the borders opened up, settling in California with his family and beginning his master's program at the Academy of Art College. He became an instructor of painting there, and continues to teach and work alongside his students at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco.
