Created with acrylics on canvas, the entrancing paintings of Yiqian Shu (pronounced Ee-chen Shoe ) have a dreamlike quality. By presenting the beauty and serenity he finds in nature, Shu reveals its spirituality. Born in Shanghai, China, in 1941, Shu and his family now reside in Oregon, where the lush valleys and verdant forests remind him of his native homeland.

Shu is signature member of National Acrylic Painter’s Association, U.S., and signature member of National Acrylic Painter’s Association, U.K. His name is listed in the archive of Tate Museum, U.K. His art has appeared in a number of books and magazines. It is included in the collections of prestigious museums as well as private and corporate collectors. During a professional career that has spanned 40 years, Shu has garnered numerous honors and awards. He is listed in Who's Who of Contemporary Chinese Artists. In 1998, he was awarded silver prize in The World Chinese Calligraphy and Painting Competition in Beijing, China. In 2001 he was bestowed with the honorary title Oregon Treasurer and invited to exhibit his work at the Governor’s Mansion by the Oregon state art committee. In 2002, Mill Pond Press Companies, one of the leading art publishers in the U.S., singed him and started to publish his paintings into limited Giclee canvas prints. In addition, his artwork has been exhibited in Bulgaria, China, France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and the U.S.

"As I wander through this fascinating world, woven with the rhythm of color, I wish to explore the heavenly beauty of nature that I treasure within my heart," he writes. "Driven by the light of the sun, I use my emotions, wisdom and skills to make color and lines come together in peaceful poetry. I want to create water, mountains and forests that sing and dance with brilliant color. The blazing sun's power gives me everlasting inspiration, and I hope to express all that is within my heart."
