The historical city of Yangzhou has always been a major resource of Chinese cultural heritage, amidst of which stands the conspicuously salient "Yangzhou School of Eight Eccentric Talented Painters" in Oing Dynasty. Mr. Wei-feng Shen. one of the school's young and contemporary successors, is believed to be such a painter who has attained to the expertise of the ancient school of painters in terms of its customary ways and skills of painting and, in the meantime, refuses to stay confined to its original styles in minute details. Being an expert in flower-and-bird painting, he brings under his brushes sight and sound of Bamboo Forest. Mr. Shen's painting has won immense appreciation from numerous foremost painters of the time.
