About Master Class - Chinese classical painting: Childhood Self Portrait

Wilson Shieh has been passionate about art since he was young. His topics are innovative, yet his techniques are inherited from ancient Chinese traditions. His new style of claborate-style painting has opened up a new world to world-wide audiences. Although Shieh’s training was in traditional fine brushwork, his subjects are rarely plants or sceneries. but contemporary topics related to cities and people. Shieh has been working on his style of meticulous painting for over a decade, depicting modern subject matters, often infused with a distinctive sense of humor.
In this class, Shieh will demonstrate claborate-style painting techniques with which participants will create a self-portrait of their own childhood from old photographs.

About Wilson Shieh
Wilson Shieh, a painter trained in the Chinese fine-brush (gongbi) technique, works on various media ranging from Chinese ink drawing on silk to acrylic on canvas to paper cut-out collage. He focuses on human bodies as his theme for narration, transforming figuration by means of tailor-made costumes. The identity of modern people is always in query in his art world.
