Wenlan Hu Frost (Chinese: 胡文兰; simplified Chinese: 胡文兰; traditional Chinese: 胡文蘭; pinyin: Hú Wénlán), (born 1958 in Chengdu, Sichuan, China) is an American painter living in Houston, Texas.[1] She developed the Abstract Symbolism painting style in 2007 and is the first artist to present the Chinese character as a symbolic abstract art form on a Western medium, as seen in her Chinese Calligraphy 2.0 – The Love Character Abstract Symbolism Series.[2] [3] [4] Her works are in the collection of the Butler Institute of American Art,[5] where she had her first solo museum exhibition in 2008.[6]
