Mr Lai Ming

Maestro of Contemporary Lingnan Painting

Mr Lai Ming

Mr Lai Ming is a renowned artist of the Chinese Lingnan School of Painting. He was under the tutelage of Lingnan master Mr Gao Jianfu and is one of the few Lingnan painters who are still active in the art circle promoting Chinese painting. His fresh style of painting, which is characterized by a blending of Chinese and Western painting techniques, and his exquisite use of brush, ink and colour has brought a touch of vigour and a note of perfection to his paintings.
