Shen Ming Cun

Shen was born in 1956 and graduated from the University Art College of Guand Xi in China, where he is now professor of European Art. He has had paintings shown in important national exhibitions in Bejing and at the Chinese Masterpiece show in Hong Kong along with a host of other exhibitions throughout China.

Shen Ming’s artistic skill not only lies in his superlative technical ability but in ability to convey emotion. His paintings depict the tribes of the Miao, Yao and Dong of the remote Sichuan region, who’s way of life is increasingly threatened by modernisation within China.

The combination of his talent, technical skills and his ability to observe his subjects have led people to compare his work to that of the “old masters”.
