Zhimin Guan’s painting receives award, upcoming exhibit

Zhimin Guan’s (Art & Design) oil painting on metal “Freezing Land” received Merit and Purchase Award from Minnesota State Community and Technical College in Fergus Falls at its 2010 Annual Area Invitational Art Exhibition. Guan gave an artist talk on the Individual to Icon exhibition at the Plains Art Museum in Fargo on March 26. Guan’s paintings featured in the exhibition pay homage to some of his local heroes and display his distinctive oil-on-steel style. The show runs through August 26, 2010. Guan has also been invited to offer a professional development workshop in Chinese painting and calligraphy for Minnesota’s Chinese language teachers. The workshop will be held at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities.
