ARTE ZHIWEI TU |
Awards winning painter Zhiwei Tu was born in Northern Guangdong Province, China.
Zhiwei Tu (Romantic
Impressionist Painter) was born in Northern Guangdong Province, China.
As a child he worked his family’s land, herded sheep, and attended the
village school. It was there that he became infatuated with painting and
drawing. When he was in high school, a professional artist was sent to
the village to paint a portrait of Mao Zedong.
For seven hours straight, Tu watched the artist work, and afterwards, he
bought his own paints and painted his own portrait of Mao. When he
showed it to the village officials a few days later, they decided to
display his piece as it was far more impressive than the commissioned
piece. By 1975 he had earned a BA from the Guangzhou Institute of Fine
Arts in Canton, and became a teacher of art at the Teaching College of
Shiao Gaun, China.
The Cultural Revolution in China forced the closing of all graduate
programs until 1978, when the movement lost its energy. During the
interruption of his studies, Tu traveled extensively throughout China
studying Chinese history and culture, and producing hundreds of
paintings. Later, these served as great sources of information and
inspiration for much of his work.
Finally, in 1978, Tu entered a compitition for admission to the
Gaungzhou Institute, won, and entered to earn his master’s degree.
Staying there only three years, he moved on the become Professor of Fine
Art at the Guangzhou Institute, and while teaching he earned his MFA in
1981. In 1987, Tu entered Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, to
study both Art and English full-time.
During those three years, he drove all over the midwest and east coast
to over twenty invitational shows in Minneapolis, Chicago, and Kansas.
Ever since then, Tu has had numerous one-man shows all over the United
States and throughout the Orient.
