Cranes
Cranes have always been auspicious birds in Chinese culture, but it's a different kind of crane that's come to symbol growth of cities and skyscrapers.
Yuping Guo was born in a picturesque town in Sichuan province in 1957.
In an environment enriched with history and artistry, Yuping began his training in calligraphy and painting, receiving instruction starting at the age of six.
Yuping's art shows marks of a variety of influences; facial mask painting used in Chinese opera, the Yi People (a minority group of China) and, somewhat predominantly, the old traditions of Chinese watercolor painting.
