Hong Min Zou |
Artist Hong Min Zou, a nationally recognized portrait painter
who has been painting professionally for over 25 years, has created nearly one thousand
works of art. His painting have won many major national and international juried art
awards.
Zou's specialty is oil portrait printing. His portraits are loved and greatly appreciated
by collectors in Georgia, North Carolina, New York, and California. His greatest achievement is the award he won
in the American portrait competition for his portrait of Charlotte Hope, selected
from more than 10,000 entries in the nation's largest portrait competition, sponsored
by "The Artist's Magazine." His winning entry was feature on the cover of the magazine's
portrait competition issue.
His subjects of all ages, individuals, and groups are completely believable as the artist
portrays them. "An artist must use more than his hand and eyes to paint; he must also use his heart.
Great portraiture shows the spirit of both the model and the painter," Zou often says to his art students.
Hong Min Zou travels to the client's location to sketch and photograph. Usually this is done
on a weekend to avoid children missing school. Zou completes a portrait in two to three months.
Working mostly in oils, he achieves a blend of impressionist technique with a representational style to create the nation's best portrait paintings.
