A Visual Feast of Chinese Calligraphy and Paintings by Franz Cheung

The artworks are displayed in a digital slideshow. 

Franz Cheung’s Chinese calligraphy artworks highlight his beautiful calligraphic strokes, structure and writing tricks. Also on display are his Chinese paintings featuring zodiac animals, plants and scenic views. The digital slideshow also includes works using traditional Chinese painting techniques, as well as paintings with modern ideas such as 'Iron bridge under moonlight' and 'Blue Smurfs touring in West Lake'.
