Born in Guangzhou, China, Buddhist Master Tam Shek-Wing apprenticed under Chinese Masters Zhang Chunchu and Zhao Chongzheng, making Tam a third generation master of Geshan style and Lingnan style of Chinese painting. Tam’s work melds the old and the new. Critically acclaimed, his paintings are recognized as “Lingnan’s Literati paintings.” Tam is the honorary executive governor of OCAA. To celebrate his 82nd birthday, OCAA invites Tam for this exhibition. We will feature his painting from 60 years ago, where we get a glimpse of the sparkling talent then.<\/p>\n

Master Tam’s Painting from 60 years ago.<\/p><\/div>\n

We\u00a0have invited four of Tam\u2019s artist friends to join in the celebration. They are Ma Peng, Mak Ching, Chan Chiu-Yin and Lo Wing-Chiu. In their 70s and 80s,\u00a0they make an unusually trailblazing group of artists who persist in working within the Chinese painting tradition.<\/p>\n

Ma is a known painter from Zhejiang, China. Mak is a senior artist from Hong Kong. Known for his green thumb, his painting has a unique esthetic. Chan is fluent in many traditions, Song regal style and expressive alike. Lo\u2019s style is one of its kind. He is particular fond of the \u201csplash-ink\u201d style of landscape in recent years, garnering accolades employing the same technique for faunas.<\/p>\n
