About Yong Zhou
周勇，著名油畫家，1953年生於中國安徽。中國西安美術學院油畫碩士，現任美國新澤西美術學院教授（創始人）、美國羅格斯（Rutgers）大學亞洲文化中心藝術顧問、美國康州新英格蘭博物館中國部副主任、中國新疆藝術學院教授、中國新疆師範大學教授。
Yong Zhou was born in 1953 in Anhui Province in China. He graduated from Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts with his master's degree in oil painting. As a renowned oil painting artist, Zhou is currently a professor at the New Jersey Art Academy, which he founded; Artistic Consultant of the Asian Cultural Center, Rutgers University; Deputy Director of the Chinese Department, New England Museum of Connecticut for Contemporary Art and professor at the Xinjing Arts Institute and Xinjing Normal University in China.
1993年，周勇新疆風情組畫，參加聯合國"世界環境藝術大賽展"榮獲聯合國頒發的"世界環境藝術大賽"優秀獎，特邀前往美國、紐約、舊金山、芝加哥舉辦個人畫展。1995年，聯合國以特殊人才為其申請全家移民美國。
For over 20 years, Zhou explored Xinjing and its unique minority culture and represented such experience in his work. In 1993, he received the "World Environmental Artistic Competition" Award conferred by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) for his paintings. He was invited to the U.S. to hold a solo exhibition in New York, San Francisco and Chicago. Due to his artistic talent and achievements in oil painting, the United Nations sponsored Zhou for the "Outstanding Intellectual" immigration program, and his family moved to the U.S. in 1995.

周勇在世界各地均舉辦畫展，尤其在美國紐約、舊金山、費城、中國北京、新疆、香港及台北等地留下足跡。新澤西州前州長麥克格律威（Jim McGreevey）先生、美國前能源部部長、新澤西州前州長惠特曼（Christie T. Whitman）女士均邀請周勇為其繪製個人肖像。
Zhou's paintings have been exhibited in countries and regions across the world. In particular, his works have been highly acclaimed in New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Taipei, Hong Kong and Xinjiang in China. In recent years, art institutes and collectors have collected his works, Jim McGreevy, the 52nd Governor if New Jersey and Christie Whiteman, the 50th Governor of New Jersey and also the Environmental Protection Agency Administrator invited Zhou to draw portraits of them.

周勇教授的創作大都取材於令人神往的亞洲腹地、美國西部牛仔的風土人情，展示了人與大自然的和諧之美。畫家含蓄而浪漫的意境與卓越的技巧渾然一體，淋漓盡致地表現其不拘一格的鮮明個性與獨具匠心的藝術風格。
The themes of Zhou's paintings are either the mysterious Asian hinterland or the vast sceneries of American West, embodying the harmonious beauty between man and nature. He has intentionally kept the subject of his paintings somewhat obscure, leaving room for imagination. In essence, a profound tone permeates his works, represented by rich colors and deep, simple contours, all of which exhibit his unique personal style in oil painting. Zhou's paintings so overflow with the spirit of freedom that one can truly feel the joie de vivre so central to art.
