MO DAFENG His love of the American landscape, the fog-shrouded coasts and all things romantic is informed and illuminated by Mo Dafeng, born in Shanghai. The son of an art professor at the Art Academy of China, Mo was educated in China and is one of the few artists ever honored with shows at both the National Theater and the National Gallery in Beijing. He came to the U.S. in 1987 and fell in love with the beauty of the land. He was one of a number of Chinese artists who attracted the attention of Dave Usher, the late founder of The Greenwich Workshop, who was a pioneer in gaining exposure for their work in the United States. Refusing to rest on his laurels, Mo attended the Pratt Institute’s School of Art and Design in New York, graduating in 1993 with his MFA. In both countries, fellow artists never fail to be impressed with his remarkable ability to balance his subject with the very air and light around it. To his pleasure, he finds many of the same moods in America that he grew up with in China. "I guess it just goes to show," he says, "that our similarities are greater than our differences."
