王勝教授，一九五六年出生於中國齊齊哈爾市，1983年獲魯迅美術學院油畫系藝術學士，被聘在該學院油畫系教授油畫和素描。1987年該學院選送他以訪問學者身份到美進修，研究美國的藝術教育，同時進行個人創作。他先後在伊；利諾大學、聖路易華盛頓大學的藝術學院和芳邦大學藝術系進修並獲得美術碩士MFA學位，於1990年進入聖路易芳邦大學藝術系任教迄今，教授油畫技法，繪畫色彩理論，素描和研究生的獨立創作。

FONTBONNE UNIVERSITY TO FEATURE INAUGURAL SCHOLAR/ARTIST EXHIBITION AT GALLERY
Saint Louis, MO - The paintings of Fontbonne University art professor Victor Wang will be on display April 1 - 11 in the university's gallery. The exhibit, titled "Poetry of a Sunflower," will feature an opening reception April 4 from 6 - 8 p.m. The public is invited to both the exhibit and the reception.
Wang is the recipient of the university's first Scholar/Artist Award, gvien annually to one faculty member. The award highlights the work of current full-time Fontbonne faculty members who have distinguished themselves in the areas of scholarly or artistic achievement.
Wang's large-scale oil paintings are in a classic Western style, with heavy dramatic brushstrokes that create texture reminiscent of Rodin sculptures - known for deeply pocketed surfaces. Both American Art Collector and American Artist magazines have featured him on their covers.
"Victor's paintings are completely unique and original. I have never seen another artist that has created what Victor is doing," says Steven Diamant, president of Arcadia Fine Arts Gallery in New York City, who represents Wang.
Wang has taught at Fontbonne since 1990. He received a bachelor's in fine arts from Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in China and a master's in fine arts from Fontbonne. Read more about this interesting artist and see his work at www.fontbonne.edu/victorwang.
