Xie Hengxing | Chinese Figurative Painter
Xie Hengxing was born in China in 1959. He is a very well known artist from China and his memorable portraits have won him lots of international acclaim. I loved the way he portray the splendid colors on figures that are rendered with meticulous details.
He is truly a perfectionist and a great painter. He spends a lot of time on his each and every painting; he spends at least some months on each of his large scale painting which limits his art work to four or five per year.
