Biographic sketch of Master Lan, Pi-Shan

Biographic sketch of a Master Chinese Painter Lan, Pi-Shan, ---A promising and rising painter in the orient.

Mr. Lan, Pi-Shan, was born in Taipei, Taiwan in 1941. He loves to paint the Chinese water-ink painting, since he was a small kid. He tried to learn the Chinese art from the greatest contemporary masters whoever he could approach, such as Huang Jun Bi, Chang Da-Chien, Hu, Nien-Tsu, among some others.

For several decades, he practices the art of his trade, many, many hours per day, just like any champions golfer, or pianist and the like who would practice his game with intelligence and effort laboriously. He creatively tries the flexibility of the Chinese water-ink brushes with various, unmoduating ways, of changing the thickness, wet-dryness, swift-and slowness to achieve his new, multi-dimensional, perceptional results. He has attained some state of the art edge, which can be seen in this album, a collection of his international exhibitions on landscape successfully and held in Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Hong-Kong and China.

I am keeping some of his current paintings, as well as taking class lessons from him. I am confident that his works will become very valuable soon.
