Long ribbons whip through the air against a maze of angular motifs, and fine white linework traces the bridles and hooves. Zu Ming Ho came to the United States in 1987 after training in oil at the Shanghai Drama Institute of Fine Arts, and he cites Degas, Monet and Renoir among his influences. The Impressionist sense of motion is felt here. The hand signature sits at lower right.

A slim black frame holds a wide white mat with a thin blue inner line, giving the dense blue image plenty of room. It fits a study, a dining room or a gallery wall beside lighter prints. The deep blues look good with white plaster, natural wood and brass, and the fine linework rewards a slow look from close up. It also suits a library or hallway.

He graduated with honors from the Shanghai Drama Institute of Fine Arts, majoring in oil painting, and moved to the United States in 1987, where his first American exhibition took place in Los Angeles and led to national and international shows. His work pairs a gentle touch with vivid color and intricate line, drawing on the mystery and elegance of ancient China. See less
