- About Me (bio) 個人簡曆:
- Well-known internationally for his abstract painting that synthesizes the rhythm of cursive Chinese calligraphy with an approach to color reminiscent of the symphonic effects achieved by Abstract Expressionism, Professor Lampo Leong uniquely incorporates his profound knowledge of classical and contemporary Western art, Asian brush painting, calligraphy, Western Aesthetics, and Chinese Daoist philosophy into his mixed media acrylic and oil paintings. On his canvases, energies shift and explode to create serenity in an electric manner, celebrating the dynamic tensions that give birth to new life, new planets, and new stars. Since the 1990s, Leong has been recognized as a pioneer artist in integrating digital technologies with fine art creation.
Born in Guangzhou, China, Leong grew up during the Culture Revolution when educational systems in China had collapsed. Through self-study in the early ages and persistent hard work, Leong excelled in the academic world, attended some of the best art colleges in China and the United States, such as the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing (Ph.D.-ABD) and the California College of the Arts (MFA), and becoming an exemplary art professor. He is currently Chair of the Department of Art at the University of Missouri-Columbia and often shares his knowledge and experience, influencing students across the United States, China and Taiwan. He has given more than 100 lectures at institutions such as the University of California at Berkeley, the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, Stanford University, the University of Minnesota at Twin Cities, Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, and National Taiwan Normal University in Taipei. Leong has also served as juror for many art competitions nationwide, including San Francisco Art Commission, Missouri Arts Council, and the Best of America national juried exhibition.
Leong’s painting and calligraphy have been exhibited extensively worldwide in more then 55 solo and 250 group exhibitions. His work can be found in many important museum collections such as The Cantor Center for Visual Arts at Stanford University, Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Macau Museum of Art in Macao, and Guangdong Museum of Art in China, as well as hundreds corporate and private collections. His 26-foot-diameter granite inset calligraphic medallion was permanently installed in a city park by the San Francisco Arts Commission. Leong’s artistic contributions have earned him more than 35 awards and much recognition internationally, such as Gold Medal at the XV Exposicao Coltctiva dos Artistas de Macau, Best of Show at the 42nd Sumi-e Society of America Anniversary Juried Exhibition, and most recent, the Faculty-Alumni Award from the University of Missouri-Columbia.
Leong’s achievements as an artist and an educator have been featured in more than 800 reviews and publications in newspapers, magazines, books, websites, and on television internationally, including a PBS documentary. He has been recognized in the US Congressional Record, and in 1999, the Mayor of San Francisco, Willie Brown, proclaimed November 19th to be Lampo Leong Day.

(Panel Discussion) Paintings, Posters and Propaganda: Artists Reflect and Connect with Community
November 12, 2008
The Chinese Culture Center and Kearny Street Workshop invite you to join in on a discussion among five artists about the development of their art practices, their influences and how they work within their communities.
Nancy Hom is an artist, writer, organizer, and arts administrator with over 30 years of experience in the non-profit arts. As an artist, curator, and organizer, she has worked in many communities in San Francisco, including the South of Market, Manilatown, Chinatown, Japantown, Western Addition, and the Mission. Nancy served as executive director of Kearny Street Workshop from 1995-2003.
Leland Wong, artist, illustrator, and photographer, is best known for the silkscreen posters he has designed and produced for more than thirty five years, particularly the series of posters he produced annually for the Nihonmachi Street Fair from 1974-2004. He is the owner of A-Town Graphics, a one-man photography and graphic design business.
Lenore Chinn’s paintings explore the super-realistic depiction of a wide spectrum of people of color, lesbians and same sex couples. Her portraits documenting the historical evolution of San Francisco’s queer community challenge the social conventions that currently constitute the racialized order of things. Lenore is a founding member of Lesbians in the Visual Arts, Queer Cultural Center and the Asian American Women Artists Association.
Choppy Oshiro, graphic designer and illustrator, created the promotional material for the Chinese Culture Center’s exhibition Icons of Presence: Asian American Activist Art. Her work was recently featured in Dirty Work: artists eye domestic labor at Kearny Street Workshop.
Richard Godinez is an ex-political cartoonist who creates large-scale oil paintings and pastels that protest imperialism and globalization. Richard is an associate professor of visual art at Diablo Valley College.
Robynn Takayama (moderator) is an award-winning audio producer. She was segment producer for Crossing East, a Peabody-awarded radio documentary on Asian immigration.
