2015

About the Item

Artist Duan Z. was Born in 1955 in Yunnan, China, and is a renowned Chinese Opera Figure Painter, Educator, Playwright, and Producer. Mr. Duan serves as Director of the Chinese Dramatic Literature Society and Chairman of the American Chinese Culture Artists Association. Since 1986, Mr. Duan has been written about in more than twenty regular columns under the title “Duan’s Opera Figure Painting Column” on Chinese Newspapers and Magazines in the US and China. He has published thousands of Opera Figurative paintings. He has been featured in more than two hundred reports and interviews from television, radio, newspapers, and magazines such as American Art Collector and British Art Review. His work is collected by civic institutions, and private patrons across the United States, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and National Level Museums in China. 'Cleansing Actress Series No. 5' by Duan is a captivating diptych-style portrait that transcends time and tradition. This remarkable artwork pays homage to the beauty and mystique of old Chinese artistic styles while introducing a modern twist. In this piece, the enigmatic woman emerges as if from a bygone era, her visage a blend of art and theatricality. The striking contrast of black and white imbues her portrait with an air of timelessness, while hints of vibrant orange and fiery red add a contemporary touch. Adjacent to her, an old Chinese vase graces the scene, its presence an homage to the rich history and cultural heritage of the East. The American Art Gallery in Carmel CA, USA exclusively represents Mr. Duan's. The painting comes with a certificate of authenticity and a letter of appraisal.
