Kang Xiaodong, from Yudu, Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, has been learning painting and calligraphy since childhood under the guidance of his father, Kang Xingming, a graduate of Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute. Influenced by his father, he developed an early passion for painting and calligraphy. Pen name: Dongzi; Studio name: Mo Hua Bao. He has been engaged in painting and calligraphy for over 40 years. His traditional ink paintings favor expressive freehand style—deep, contemplative, yet not bound by convention; they embody an ancient elegance. His artistic style is direct, innocent, with vigorous and robust brushwork that conveys weight and rustic simplicity, emphasizing inner spirit and tension. His works combine traditional ink techniques, feng shui aesthetics, and modern forms, drawing inspiration from nature while maintaining a unique, innovative, and extraordinary style. He specializes in various floral and bird subjects, peonies, and detailed gongbi paintings. He has also conducted extensive research into residential feng shui culture. His landscape paintings seamlessly integrate feng shui principles, making them highly sought-after for offices and homes. Contemporary feng shui paintings, when properly composed, are believed to influence family and corporate fortune. His seal script calligraphy has won multiple awards and is uniquely expressive, earning him the nickname "Steel Wire Script."
