Introduction to art master Han Meilin:
Mr. Han Meilin, a versatile art master, was born in Jinan City, Shandong Province in 1936. He graduated from the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts in 1960 and was elected as a director of the Chinese Artists Association in 1979. In 1980, Mr. Han held solo exhibitions in 21 cities including Boston, New York, and the United States. During his stay in the United States, he received the Golden Key of Honorary Citizen from the City of San Diego. Manhattan, New York, declared October 1, 1980 as Han Meilin Day. While in the United States, he was also invited to give lectures at Harvard Universitys Lawrence School of Art.
In 1983, six of his works were selected for Christmas cards issued by the United Nations. Since 1989, he has held personal exhibitions in more than 20 countries around the world.
Master Han Meilin’s paintings and sculptures mainly focus on animals and figures. They not only inherit and refine the traditional cultural art of the Chinese nation, but also absorb the essence of Western art. They can combine realism, exaggeration, abstraction, freehand brushwork, meticulous brushwork, and impression. Many techniques of Eastern and Western art are skillfully integrated into one. It can be said that his works have reached a high, far, deep and new realm. Coupled with the beauty of the lines of his works, people can enjoy an eternal beauty. People most admire his uncanny craftsmanship and the huge Chinese paintings that he completed in one go. The logo designed for Air China in recent years uses only four simple strokes to draw a beautiful, lovely and wealthy phoenix flying in the sky. He was also invited to draw giant traditional Chinese paintings for the Macao Hall of the Great Hall of the People, the State Council, the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress and the National Committee of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference.
