Shih Lin Lan Chinese Art Exhibition

Taiwanese American Community Center (TACC) will be presenting a Chinese Painting Exhibition by the artist Mr. Shih Lin Lan from October 5th through October 31st. The admission is free. The opening reception will be held on October 5th, 2003, Sunday, 3 PM at TACC.
Mr. Lan graduated from Shanghai’s Xinhua Art Institute in the 1930’s. He studied under master painters including Zhu Wenyung, Pan Tianshou and Wang Yiting; blended the styles of masters Wu Changsuo, Qi Baishi and Ren Ponian, and developed his own style. In 1945, Mr. Lan went to Taiwan and worked as a civil servant to build social infrastructure. During this period, he came to know the holy Taoist Miaozhenzi from whom he studied Taoism and developed a profound understanding of Taoism. When Mr. Lan painted during his leisure, he was able to meld the essence of Tao into his painting. Mr. Lan held two public exhibitions in Taiwan; both drew enormous accolades. After Mr. Lan immigrated to U.S., he continued to practice Tao, which enhanced his ability to perfect and consummate his painting style - his paintings of landscape, birds and flowers exude elegance and grace, and his calligraphy and poetry sublime and true. Over the years, he had accumulated over one hundred works.
