Shang Ding - Lanning Gallery [Sedona Arizona]

Shang Ding - A featured artist at the Lanning Gallery [Sedona Arizona]

Shang Ding became intrigued with painting at an early age. During the Cultural Revolution in China, his parents were arrested and removed from their home, Shang Ding was 14 years of age. His life changed dramatically. To cope with his loneliness and uncertainty, he dedicated himself to his art. While serving in the Chinese army, he painted what he saw–the soldiers, the battles, the fear and the hardships. In 1974 Mao Zedong's wife highly praised his work, and he soon became an acclaimed artist and honored professor. In 1988 he came to the United States.

"Life here is always new and changing; the culture is new and people are not afraid of change. China has such deep history and change does not always come easily."

Now he wants to tell an international story, something that everyone can understand and relate to.
