Lan Zhenghui, is a contemporary artist who is active in Beijing and Toronto, and is known for his monumental abstract-ink painting.
In 2013, during the Art Basel-Miami Beach, an international gathering of top artists from around the world, Lan was included in one of the influential art exhibitions, “28 CHINESE” the Rubell Family Collection, which is considered a barometer for Chinese contemporary art collectors. Lan was the only participant who works with ink.
He 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.
