Gao Xingjian was born in 1940 in Ganzhou, China and practised calligraphy as a child. He studied French Literature at the Foreign Languages Institute in Beijing and in the late 1970s he worked as a playwright at the People's Art Theatre. Gao relocated to Paris in 1987 to continue his career in the arts and in 2000 he was crowned Nobel Laureate of Literature. Inspired by Renaissance paintings, Gao employs his understanding of the source of light in western art and black-and-white photography to Chinese ink works. His techniques are developed from Chinese calligraphy and expressive (xieyi) painting, yet his art characteristically depicts textures which are absent in traditional ink paintings. His paintings are "depictions of the inner mind" and are situated "between figurative and abstract." His art has a sense of the real and the surreal: the seemingly abstract landscapes and human forms resonate as identifiable images in the memories of the viewer.
