Richard Tiejun Chao China
A highly appreciated watercolor artist with solo and group exhibitions in Europe, USA, Asia, and Australia.
Winner of over 60 major watercolor prizes for the last 5 years, among which First Prize in IWM 2022 UK, A. J. Casson Award (First Place) in WSPWC 96th Exhibition – Canada, Mary Lind Award (Top Three) in NWS Member Exhibition – USA, and many others.
“While keeping the feature of vitality and transparency, I combine some techniques from Chinese Ink Painting into my watercolor, and absorb the methods of expression from Oil Painting to depict my subjects in details. I think watercolor is not a minor medium. It can be a big medium to express serious and profound subjects. “
