Lot Essay

Zhao Kailin graduated in oil painting from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1991, one of China's most prestigious art academies. His style is founded in China's contemporary realist oil painting movement, nascent in the 1990s. Zhao's international career has taken him from China, to Sweden, to California.
