Shao Jie, Dean of Gansu Painting Academy.

Li Weinan, a native of Zhangye, Gansu, 1959. 1982 graduated from the Fine Arts Department of Northwest Normal University. Now he is the president of Gansu Painting Academy, a professional painter, a national first-class artist and a member of China Artists Association. Li Wei insists on practicing painting language from Gansu's natural features and folk customs. The east wind of Longdong painted by him is calm with a pen and thick with ink, and the vast yellow land gives people an unpretentious beauty; Gannan Tibetan customs paintings, with thick ink and huge pens, are hidden in the mystery of cold silence and stagnation, with unique style.
