This unique artist left us on April 9th, 2013. The world is saddened by his death. The modern era has never seen an artist produce this caliber of abstract art. During this period Zao Wou-Ki used traditional Chinese philosophy and eye catching effects to portray a great understanding of that generation of history and style. His method of Chinese paintings and print making has never been produced before. He succeeded in using Western Oil paintings to explain Traditional Chinese aesthetics using a distant flowing Asian concept that reflects the elegant mysterious oriental mind. This paper records the changing nature of his life's work through time. Zao Wou-Ki used Eastern methods to impress and move the Western art community. His influence will be well remembered in the art world, as well as, in the hearts and minds of everyone who has been in contact with his works.
