Lot Essay

A painter, poet and critic, Laoshu currently serves as a professor at Central University of Finance and Economics in Beijing. Executed in ink and colour, his paintings often feature a figure wearing a traditional long gown and a straw hat, with his face unidentified. He composes humorous poems with references to contemporary life, which he inscribes on his paintings. Often depicting subjects from daily life, paintings by Laoshu are his creative outlets where he expresses musings on life.
