The object of his admiration was “Wu Daozi”, a portrait of an old Chinese man in ancient times. His grave look, ethereal flowing gown and steady hand with a paint brush show he is painting in haste. His works cover a variety of themes, including ancient Chinese beauties, contemporary figures, still life and landscapes. Guo paints every day – his conscience pricks him if he doesn’t. If he cannot paint a whole day, he reviews his works to see how he can improve them.
“We account for a quarter of world’s population, but unfortunately Chinese painting is almost absent on the international art stage, which is dominated by Western oil painting,” – Says Guo
