Shadows of Himalayan Impressions

A very unique display is being held at the Westport River Gallery, the epicenter in the area for works by a known artist with unique ties to Tibet.

On display will be about 30 watercolor paintings and oil sketches by Asian master Zheng. These are reflections of the final works he has completed.  They are unique, personal, & focused on a way of life fast disappearing as the Tibetans battle the Chinese. His extraordinary works, portraying the heartland of Tibet, not only illustrate the beauty and simplicity of daily survival in a small village, but they create a vivacious mood that captures the intense emotions of the human experience. Born in Shanghai in 1957, Zheng studied at the Central Arts Institute in Beijing and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Since 1981 he has created over thirty books and was awarded major prizes by the China National Art Preview for his illustrations. His work has sold worldwide, including the major auction houses.
