The Representation of the Figures by Dong Chensheng

Dong Chensheng draws inspiration from ancient and modern figures to portray traditional morality and to provide examples from which people can learn. He paints characters from famous opera, for instance, to remind us of the lessons to be learned from historical events and he draws Buddhist figures to praise the virtues of honesty and goodness. Dong Chengsheng was greatly moved by the merits and contribution of China's many historical and traditional celebrities and hoped to bring them to life with his brush. Dong's paintings are a fine expression of Chinese ancient and modern culture and embody the finest in Oriental fine art. His paintings have earth-moving potential.
