Gong Shaoshang is still very young. Nevertheless he has already made it into the top level of the national Chinese print exhibitions: One of his woodblock reduction prints was selected for the 17th National Printmaking Exhibition in 2005.

Style and Technique

We received our first prints by this young artist, three altogether, in spring time of 2007. They were all made in the technique of reduction woodblock prints and in oil-based colors - the typical Yunnan Art School woodblock print.

To make an assessment on just three art works would be too daring. And besides, Mr. Gong Shaoshen is at his age entitled and should even feel encouraged to try different styles and techniques. But what we saw is pretty good, solid work. Collectors should keep an eye on this young artist. And his works are still very cheap!

We from artelino want to forward our best wishes and encouragement to Mr. Gong Shaoshen that this will change soon. With his acceptance for the 17th Chinese Printmaking Exhibition this young artist has made an excellent start.
