A few days ago, is known as "market barometer" collection sotheby's Hong Kong pulled open the prelude to spring art auction. One of the most outstanding people is the integration of Chinese artist sanyu's work "music leg horse", which works in an artist price index topped the rankings. Works of famous Chinese painter chu "inspiration of winter" with "striking" 28.66 million hk dollar clinch a deal. Similarly, in 2010, Christie's Chinese painter zao introduce you oil painting reproductions to the special work, caused a big reaction at the time of the collectors.

, creation in just a few years ago, the life of overseas Chinese works of oil painting masters also only appears in overseas markets. Now, their name is gradually was familiar with mainland wholesale oil painting collectors, works also become a frequenter of mainland pat on field. Why overseas Chinese painter's works into the mainland market "darling"?

Experts point out that, in order to sanyu, zhu dequn and represented by the overseas Chinese master zhao has a clear description and academic, they almost every piece of textual research, there are fake so collectors for their work, there is no concern. In addition, the number of overseas Chinese creation of oil painting everyone portrait painting rare, representing the initial exploration of Chinese oil painting process and change is significant.

From the aspect of artistic conception, present the intersection between the east and the west's unique aesthetic feeling attracted a large number of fans at home and abroad. In many expert eye, the French painter zao wou-ki painting Chinese implication abstruse, looks like painting, and contains the Oriental brush. Val in the French national museum of modern art curator much commented: "zhao use oil paints and the use of ink, to paint a more typical of Chinese painting liquidity and not shiny clear. At the same time, he kept far east glaze painting downy brightness transparent dim and implicit.

In others, the longer we leave home, Mr. More tend to return to traditional Chinese. As time went on, in his works, such eastern homesickness is a little bit more bright. Chu teh-chun's friend and his partner, the French national institute of jimei Asian art museum curator Dai Haoshi said: "while his feelings for home in a silent way into work, from his calligraphy and paintings, you will find these abstract works embodies very rich Chinese traditional."

As the saying goes: "tree height thousand zhangs discarded." For oil painting reproductions overseas Chinese artists such as a special community, "the root" not only represents the home of geography, also means that the profound Chinese traditional culture. In "the painting is my life," zhao wrote: "painting is my whole portrait painting life, is my lifetime pursuit of the only relying on... although I joined the French, but my heart, or the Chinese. The source of my painting from China."
