Zhao TianXin’s brush is like a rainbow, walking on clouds and wind. Known for his paintings that are uniquely characterized by resplendent and intense colors; passionate, fluid and energetic brushstrokes, allowing the viewer to feel the painter’s emotional impulse and the tension of the spirit in the vertical and horizontal aspects of the painting.
Born in China in 1957, Zhao TianXin entered the Central Academy of Craft and Design in 1977 and studied under acclaimed art mentors such as Wu GuanZhong. In 1986, he was taught by famous impressionist artist, Professor Marshall Arisman, during his studies for a Master of Fine Arts at New York’s School of Visual Arts. He won the ‘Best Show’ and ‘Best in Painting’ awards from the National Jury Exhibition held at the Art Center of Northern New Jersey in 1992.
