March 22 Jianhua Shu spoke to us about the formation of his Silicon
Valley Asian Arts Center. Born in Zhejiang province, Shu followed his engineer
wife to Silicon valley in 2000. As Chinese art was his focus of study, he
dreamed of opening a gallery---something special, something different. To
import Chinese art would be expensive, though, and forgery is always a problem.
However, he looked around him. There were many Chinese-American artists. In
fact, according to retired Stanford Professor Michael Sullivan, “Many of the
most important Chinese painters during the second half of the 20th
century lived in America.”
Shu’s focus became those famous Chinese Americans (Paul Pei-jen Hua, Fong Chung-ray, Hu Hungshu, Zheng Chongbin, Chan Dai-chen, to name a few.) His dream continues to grow.
Shu's art gallery is at 3777 Stevens Creek Blvd, Santa Clara, CA. Stop by and visit.
