Zhang Bu   
male, born in 1934, is a native of Fengrun country, Hebei province. He was a professor, vice-president of the Beijing Academy of Painting, a member of the Chinese Artists Association, council member of the Beijing Artists Association and president of the Mountain-River Artists Association.
 
Zhang Bu was deeply influenced by eastern Hebei folk art at an early age. Enrolled in the Chinese Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1958, Zhang Bu studied painting under the guidance of Professor Li Keran, Li Kuchan, Jiang Zhaohe and Ye Qianyu. He devoted himself to the research and study of landscape painting under the sole guidance of Li Keran after 1961.
 
He traveled all over the country to perceive Mother Nature in his inner heart. Inheriting and developing the style of landscape painting of Li Keran, he has created a new style of ¡°thick ink and bright color¡± by employing in his painting a technique of painting in deep and bright colors. His works have fully developed the function of color. While other artists use color in their works in traditional ways, Zhang Bu uses his own way to control color. As significant as a main rhythm in music, his works always have a basic tone of color. With the subtle management of ink as a background, some bright colors such as red, blue, green and yellow are used liberally to demonstrate the beauty of immense landscape. It is not a color trick as some of those used in contemporary arts but a great creation of the Chinese Art.
 

In both 1981 and 1982 he was awarded the second prize of fine arts creation in Beijing. In 1988, he won the prize for excellent works of water and ink painting exhibition in Japan. His works have been exhibited in more than 20 countries. Many art galleries and museums around the world collect his works.
