Ting Shao Kuang is an American-Chinese figurative painter and printmaker. Best known for his contribution to the Yunnan Art School style. His calligraphic works, paintings, and handcrafted serigraphs on paper, often featured a stylized woman surrounded by vibrant abstractions. The artist’s work draws heavily on both Ancient Egyptian and Art Nouveau aesthetics. Born on October 7, 1939 in Chenggu County, China, Ting received his formal art training at the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts in Beijing. After graduating, he taught at the Yunnan Art Institute in Kunming, China. Ting currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.

Ting Shao Kuang, with like-minded artist friends, founded the Yunnan School of Painting as a result of their pursuit for more individual expression. Seeking inspiration, they explored their own cultural tradition to justify innovation. But the immediate environment was most decisive in giving the Yunnan School its unique character. With its mild climate, lush semi-tropical vegetation and variety of colorful ethnic minorities, Yunnan has been a source of exotic inspiration to many artists.
