The mountains are hidden from sight by a trail of clouds but they start to appear after the cold breeze of the night. The pine trees on the peaks are ushering dawn in. This painting "Strong Wind Lifting the Haze" was created by Li Bing, one of the most valuable landscape painters in contemporary collection and investment. His works display the original alpine landscape — which may actually be chilly — but managed to warm the heart of the viewers.
Li Bing
Li Bing holds many titles including the Director of China Artists’ Association and Member of Art Committee of College of Chinese & ASEAN Arts of Chengdu University. His paintings on the theme of “Snow Mountain in the Western Regions" have become a school of their own. His original "block axe chapped" and "squeeze white" and "contrast white" methods of dyeing snow have led to a new variety of ice and snow landscape painting. Thus, he’s been tagged as the founder and leader of Chinese ink and snow mountain painting.

Warm Clouds Dance with East Wind
Be together with the Mountain
Li Bing's snow mountain paintings are unique and the cold landscape will warm hearts. In his paintings, the freezing snow mountain also comes alive, acquiring a personality of its own. His work "Warm Clouds Dance with East Wind" is a display of golden sunshine greeting the snow mountain. It is magnificent and full of hope. In the painting “Together to Conquer the Cold”, paints a picture of yaks at the foot of the snow mountains, which symbolizes harmonious coexistence and strength to overcome difficulties. This is also one of his many works that symbolize the fight against COVID-19.(By Edina Liang)
