Mr. Qian Peng-hu was born in 1941, in Wu-xi City of Jiang-su Province in People's
Republic of China. He is a
state-level professional in art design and decoration and now lives and
works in New York City.
His specialty is landscape painting. By using subtle but rich colors in a delicate endless
flowing style, he depicts the vigor and energy of nature vividly and incisively.
Mr. Qian pours his heart into nature and is its servant. But he is also a true master of
nature because of his superior ability to encompass all forms of life into
his art. His works are detailed
and neat but not trifling, complex and varied but unified with an integrated
beauty.
His American urban landscape paintings show another aspect of his mastery
of art. The details in the
paintings can compare with those in photographic works. However, in his paintings, superficial
photographic elements become concrete forms, magnificent and exaggerated
while not being gaudy or conventional.
They depict prosperous economic reality in modern American cities. Through the integration of art forms from
decorative arts into landscape art, Mr. Qian has developed his own unique
style.
