He was an apprentice to several notable artists before becoming a teacher of Chinese Painting at the Shanghai Art School. He is well-known for his gongbi (meticulous) style renditions of Chinese beauties. Tian-Tsui is a style of Chinese art featuring kingfisher feathers. For 2,000 years, the Chinese have been using the iridescent blue feathers of kingfisher birds as an inlay for fine art objects and adornment, from hairpins, headdresses, and fans to panels and screens. Kingfisher feathers are painstakingly cut and glued onto gilt silver. The effect is like cloisonné, but no enamel was able to rival the electric blue color. Blue is the traditional favorite color in China. Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Christie’s Hong Kong, 29 May 2018, lot 1466 Price: HKD 75,000 or approx.
