Catalogue Note
Zhu Daoping graduated from the Nanjing University of the Arts in 1977 where he studied traditional Chinese painting. Since 1998, he has been the president of the Nanjing Institute of Calligraphy of Painting and in 2004; he was the first recipient of the prestigious Huang Binhong award as a leading painter of the 20th century.
Concerned with achieving absolute self-expression in his works, Zhu strictly paints when the mood strikes him. He does not draw inspiration directly from the ancient masters, but instead creates affectionate manifestations of his visual memories. His paintings are identified by a painstaking pointillist technique, a method inspired by earlier Nanjing masters Mei Qing (1623 – 1697) and the innovative Shitao (1642-c. 1707). While Zhu's works largely rely on the abstract patterns of dots and lines akin to the innovations earlier masters, as illustrated by his works (Lot 524 and 525), Zhu's compositions are distinctively contemporary in their sentimental depictions of Nanjing's landscapes today.
