The Chinese painter Deming Yu (1972, Kaihua, Zhe Jiang province) is an autodicact. His first principles in art were the drawings he made on floors and walls in his parental home. His parents, who were poor workers, saw his desire to become more skilled in painting, but were unable to afford an art education for him. No reason for Deming Yu to give up drawing and painting ...

Deming Yu has been working as an independent painter for more than 20 years now. In the tradition of many beginning Chinese artists, in the early years he mainly copied the great European masters. And so the painter developed his talent and vision of the great art of painting. Deming Yu is now well past the stage of copying; as an autonomous painter, he has secured a place in the Chinese art scene with his refined and characteristic works, in which landscapes have his preference.

One of the largest series he has made is 1000 self-portraits, all of which are in his own collection. Works on canvas, panel but also, for example, on used paint cans, packaging materials, in short, anything the painter could find.

Mostly painted on panel, using the traditional tempera techniques and wrapped in attractive frames, the works of Deming Yu are particularly charming pieces, painted quickly and with courage and are reminiscent of the colors and brushstrokes of the great European masters of yesteryear.
