Deng Ke
is one of China's most famous contemporary landscape artists. His
paintings have been displayed in the National Art Gallery in Beijing
as well as in overseas galleries.
Deng Ke
was born in Suzhou in 1936, and is famed particularly for his
paintings of scenes from the town of his childhood, often referred
to as the Venice of the East.
He was invited to
study at the Research Institute of Chinese Painting, and his work
was subsequently selected for inclusion in a 1986 UNESCO publication
honouring China's most important contemporary artists.
An ancient Chinese
proverb relates:
In heaven, there is Paradise
On Earth, Suzhou. |
