Several select paintings have arrived at the Westport River Gallery by a new artist. Peiliang Jin is a painter of landscapes and outdoor scenes, primarily in watercolor. His technique is inspired by his classical training in the traditional and ancient watercolor methods of the Chinese art culture. Fine point brushes allow him with a single stroke to convey accuracy and delicacy to highlight anchor structures such as trees and flowers within a painting, while at the same time blending curve, color and light in the more expansive parts of the painting. One of the artist's passions is music, particularly the violin, which he studied as a boy in Shanghai. Music helps him visualize and create art that envelops our senses and gently warms us internally. His unique blend of traditional Chinese & modern art, portrait art and his eye for color combine to give us a unique vision of the peace and tranquility of a world as it should be.
