Mr. Zhao Xin is still so young - so very, very young. He has started a brilliant art career in China. But he is still at the beginning. And he has no international exhibition history yet except for Kasakhstan. It is a question of time in our view. Mr. Zhao Xin was "discovered" by our art agent in China.

Young Artists' Exhibition

Our Chinese art agent wrote to us:

"The first time that we saw Mr.Zhao Xin's prints was at Hunan's Young artists' Prints Exhibition. We were attracted by his sweet and romantic lithograph "Happy Time". His artworks are joyful and can make us smile and remind us of many beautiful things when we were young."
