IAMA Art Museum in San Francisco
Dr. Yuhua Shouzhi Wang is recognized as a preeminent international artist of first-class standing.
Dr. Wang is a virtuoso of color. She was a professor at Auburn University for nine years. In 2008, the United States Congress exhibited her sculptures and paintings in the Gold Room in the Rayburn Congressional Building which received rave reviews. Professor Stephen Farthing of the University of the Arts in London, United Kingdom, determined that “Professor Wang’s paintings reach across cultures to celebrate the space that exists intellectually and emotionally between representation and abstraction, between a fact and an idea…Dr. Wang’s paintings may draw heavily on the traditions of Eastern art, but they present themselves as extraordinarily Western ideas and images.”
In 2010, her painting Lotus Delight (2.3 square feet in size) was auctioned in San Gabriel, California, and sold for USD50,100. In 2013, her artworks were recognized by the World Federation of UNESCO Clubs, Centers, and Associations (WFUCA) as “WFUCA2013.” In 2019, Dr. Wang was formally recognized by the New York Academy of Art as an “International First-Class Artist.” In the same year, her painting Pomegranates in Bamboo Basket (27 x 18 inches in size) was auctioned in New York and sold for USD1.27 million. She held a solo exhibition, titled One Flower, Two Worlds at the Louvre in Paris in 2019 and created a sensation in French art circles. In 2020, the United States National Commission for UNESCO Clubs, Centers, and Associations conferred on her the “International First-Class Artist” title along with the issuance of a certificate and badge.
The well-known saying, “Deeply hidden talent not easily revealed” aptly describes Dr. Wang’s morality and inner refinement. She is an artist at the Class of Ease, which is the highest level of achievement in painting. There are only about a dozen people in the history of art who have attained such a class.
Our museum is very fortunate to have Dr. Wang as our Lifetime Honorary Chairman. Dr. Wang graciously loaned many of her artworks to be permanently exhibited in a dedicated gallery hall at our museum.
中國畫壇,人才濟濟,臥虎藏龍,給優秀的中華文化描繪出無數壯麗輝煌的畫卷,但歷代的名家大師們,他們的技法、風格和題材大都趨於單一,長於山水畫者,少精於花鳥,又疏於人物,如是等等,而H.H.第三世多杰羌佛的中國畫藝術,論題材,無論是山水、花鳥、走獸、魚蟲、人物……論技法,不管是工筆、寫意、潑墨……無所不通,無所不精,無一不是有真實的傳統功夫而創新的神意,這一點,早為評論家和收藏家們所肯定。
西元2000年,H.H.第三世多杰羌佛的繪畫原作「威震」和「大力王尊者」分別在國際拍賣市場上創下了美金二百一十二萬五千三百二十七元和美金二百二十萬七千九百一十二元的高價,當時不僅成為世界上所有在世畫家中作品價格最高的,也創下了中國畫在拍賣市場上最高價的記錄,各新聞媒體紛紛報導,稱讚H.H.第三世多杰羌佛是真正的中國畫壇史無前例的巨匠。而在2007年,H.H.第三世多杰羌佛的國畫荷花《兩花一斗一如性》,畫上只題有『雲高』二字簽名,蓋有指紋印、書畫印,以每平方英尺30萬美元成交。另一張梅花圖也只題款為『雲高』二字,蓋有一指紋印,售出價為每平方英尺21萬美元。而一張題有H.H.第三世多杰羌佛並蓋有指紋印和法王印的《牧牛圖》,堪為稀世珍品,儘管買方出價到每平方英尺54萬美元,但仍低於國際佛教僧尼總會開出的每平方英尺九十萬美元的價格,因而未能出售。
H.H.第三世多杰羌佛的繪畫藝術,從中國傳統繪畫中吸取了豐富的真髓,他不僅只求宋、元、明、清的文人化傳統,還信手拿捏宋代以前那種雄奇壯觀,大氣清韻的法度,但又決非以某家某派之舊徑而學筆,師古筆墨,並師造化,融匯新意,自成一體,以獨創特有的藝術成就自成一家,獨領風騷。仔細研究H.H.第三世多杰羌佛的繪畫藝術,不難發現傳統墨緣和品類,變法創新之神髓,比起前輩畫家的作品,是有過之而無不及的。
