Sanzi (simplified Chinese: 散子), born in 1965 in Yangzhou, Jiangsu with the name ''Wang Xiaolong'', is a widely recognized contemporary Chinese painter and designer.〔("Sanzi& Sanzi Studio" ) Artron.net〕 Known for his mastery of deploying a combination of techniques including Western painting, traditional Chinese ink painting, metal and wood work. Heavily influenced by Taoism, he often signs his works with “Sanzi” (散子) which has the metaphysical meaning of “floating”, “freedom” and “humility”. Many of the subjects of his paintings reflect concepts of humanity, cosmos and “wu wei” - action through inaction. He also depicts Taoist view of sexuality: valuing the body and mind as positive assets which generate harmony and balance.〔("Sanzi's Taoism" ) Hong Kong l'Impartial Takungpao〕 He gained recognition in 2005,〔''Not • Dao & Works of Sanzi (I)'', Published 2009 Lingnan Art Publishing House, ISBN 978-7-5362-4046-9〕 and is now one of the well-known figures in contemporary Chinese art.〔("Sanzi & Sanzi Studio" ) Artron.net〕 He now resides in Suzhou. ==Early life== His father was from Yangzhou, Jiangsu and mother from Pingxiang, Jiangxi. He was an only child and shortly after his second birthday, his father died. The widowed mother, already 46 years old, brought him up despite many hardships, with enduring love and affection. In the middle of the Cultural Revolution, as an intellectual, she became jobless and had to move home repeatedly to make the ends meet. As a child, he was quiet, serious and often wrapped up in his own world of thoughts. Observing the hardships imposed on his mother through frequent moving, he later adopted the tag name “Sanzi”. Whilst living in the countryside of Hunan during his elementary and middle school years, a traditional Chinese artist was his neighbour. He developed a great affection for Xiaolong, he tutored and encouraged him to study art. This apprenticeship ended in the early 1980s, when his mother resumed full-time employment after the Cultural Revolution and took Xiaolong to Changsha City, Hunan. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sanzi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
