Mr. Tu received rigorous classical training in China after he was proclaimed a child prodigy at the age of seven.  He has too many awards and accomplishments to mention them all.  See several of his books at Mainstreet.  They are an overview of the spectacular paintings of this gifted artist, who has created some of the most famous, dramatic and realistic art to come from China in the last fifty years.  He is past president of the Oil Painters of America and still serving on the board.  His recent trip to China in October included travel with several artists from the Chicago area for three weeks of painting in the countryside and small towns.  The government of China is currently building a museum especially for Mr. Tu’s works.

Don’t miss this interesting presentation of how Mr. Tu works.
