Shi Hu

Shi Hu (born 1942) is a prominent Chinese painter celebrated for his expressive ink and color works that blend traditional Chinese painting techniques with a bold, modernist sensibility. His paintings often depict figures, landscapes, and animals with vigorous brushwork and vivid chromatic intensity, drawing on classical literati traditions while infusing them with personal emotional depth. Widely collected across Asia and internationally, Shi Hu is regarded as one of the most significant contemporary Chinese ink painters of his generation.
