Gao
Wengang was born in 1963 in Benxi City, Liao Ning Province.
He graduated from the Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts. Gao Wengang
is skilled at painting simple and humorous figures of a pre-1949
China period. His paintings give a feeling of nostalgia,
and reflect the colorful life of the ordinary people at the
time. His work is full of the flavor of folk customs including
subjects of well-born young ladies, dressed dramatically,
in the then, modern style. Gao makes full use of the traditional
Chinese scatter perspective techniques to express his emotion
for the period. His paintings are highly collected throughout
China, Hong Kong and other Asian countries. Gao Wengang is
a member of Chinese Artists Association.
