Charles X. R. Zhao, Chinese Master of Arts, was born in Shanghai to noted "Nanjing" artist Hong Ben Zhao of the Mao "Imagism" era. Zhao obtained Fine Arts degrees from the Shanghai University Fine Arts Institute and Washington University in Saint louis, Missouri, where he has also held teaching positions. He is an A.N.A., N.A.W.A., A.W.S, and Y.A.I. member, as well as the Chairman of the Western Pacific Artists' Alliance of the United States. Many of his works are exhibited in prestigious international museums. This gouache on paper is a vibrant example of Canadian Imagist Expressionism, a movement which Zhao helped introduce to the art world with a group of Canadian artists during the 1980s.
