Guan Zeju, born in Canton in 1941, was a
childhood prodigy. He was a successful
socialist-realist painting images of the workers
and portraits of Mao. Guan made his way to
America and became a celebrated painter of the
ballet, which culminated in the release of the
book GUAN ZEJU, Selected Ballet Paintings, in
2000.
For the last few years Guan challenged himself to
work in secret, fusing contemporary nudes,
unashamed as they pose before the images of a
China that has passed. Realizing the importance
of this new imagery, Guan, already known for his
technical brilliance, pushed his painting to a
peerless level. According to Weinstein, "The
nudes are a marvel of modern realism the period
paintings in the background mirror the technique
of their time." Also excited by this new
direction in painting, the curator of the
Guandong Museum of Art immediately arranged Guan
Zeju's first museum show in over 10 years in
China after seeing the new imagery.
