Critical Mention

"...Mr Meng was a highly accomplished figurative artist. On the basis of this work alone I would put Meng luding among the leading Chinese oil painters of his generation..." • written by Professor MichaeltSullivan,Oxford University M.A.,Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences

"...Mr Meng has established for himself a reputation that is nation-wide in China and, to the degree that Chinese art is known abroad, one might also say he has an international reputation.His work has been widely published,even in such selective and definitive surveys of Chinese oil painting as Tao yongbai's 1700-1985: Oil Painting in China.His Adam and Eve painting is one of the icons of contemporary Chinese painting and of post-Maoist Chinese culture..." • written by Professor JeromegSilbergeld, Dean of School of Art,University of Washington

"...I believe that Mr.Meng is exceptionally talented as an artist, He is already recognized as one of China's outstanding young artists and the presence of his work in our exhibition further confirms this..." • written by Professor RichardgE.kStrassberg, UCLA , Adjunct Curator of Chinese Art, Pacific Asia Museum
