Du Zhenying
Personal Profile
Du Zhenying is a renowned Chinese ink bamboo painter. Born in 1948, he is a native of Hengshui City, Hebei Province. Currently, he serves as a council member of the Chinese Painters Association and is a painter at the Du Zhenying Art Studio of the Chinese Painters Association. His artistic pseudonyms include “Under the Gate of Banqiao” and “Master of Caotang.” Since the 1960s, he has devoted himself to painting ink bamboo, initially studying the styles of Li Kan, Wang Fu, and Xia Chang, tracing back to Yuan and Ming dynasty masters. Later, he specialized in Zheng Banqiao’s ink bamboo style. For over four decades, he has persistently practiced his brushwork. His style is characterized by solitary elegance, slender vigor, refined simplicity, and lofty, unrestrained spirit. While preserving Banqiao’s artistic essence, he integrates elements of flowers, birds, rocks, mountain streams, and weather conditions such as wind, clear skies, rain, and snow, thereby enriching and advancing the traditional ink bamboo art form. His works have repeatedly won awards in domestic art exhibitions and have been published in newspapers and periodicals. They are collected by international friends from the United States, Japan, Singapore, and Bangladesh. In 2009, China Nationalities Fine Arts Publishing House published his collection “Du Zhenying’s Ink Bamboo Paintings,” as part of the Contemporary Chinese Artists Series, featuring one hundred of his works. Successfully held a solo exhibition in Seattle, USA, in 2010.
