Luo Erchun was born around 1929/1930 in China. Luo Erchun studied at Suzhou Art School, an institute that promotes Western classicism and practices realism, when he was in his early age. Erchun followed Yan Wenliang, one of the pioneers of modern Chinese art, to learn the forms of Western classical art and styles of impressionist art. Having been influenced in a traditional education system, Luo laid solid foundation for painting techniques and schemata. With such bedrock, he became the first artist of his time who broke free from the confinement of plain landscape realism, and shifted to create with expressive and strong colours. Luo Erchun was particularly acclaimed for his landscapes of rural scenes that portray the strong representation of his era and the artist himself. After retiring from the Oil Painting Department of Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1990, Luo went to Paris for an academic exchange upon invitation from when he began to live what he called a "migratory" life as a travelling artist. Living in Europe sparked further exploration in both Western and Oriental art, and contributed to another zenith in his career in the new millennium. Luo Erchun passed away in 2015.
