Yong, a U.S. citizen, travels the world, capturing stories and events of the moment through his famous paintings. Called a Master of Artists by some of his collectors due to his capability of painting so many different styles, many have also dubbed Yong a Living Master since the quality of his work is compared to the Old Master Artists Picasso, Rembrandt, and Van Gogh. He has painted everything from Tibetan caves to favorite San Francisco destinations and is well known for his remembrance pieces from American events like September 11th, to the earthquake in Sichuan,China. Yong has been honored around the world, including America’s NASA, the White House, Independence Hall, and his art gallery in China, which receives a record-breaking 10,000+ visitors a day.

“Mother nature belongs to all of humanity. It is my hope that my artwork lends a voice to nature and to humanity. We have to collectively and conscientiously stop our destructive encroachment and return serenity to nature. Only peaceful coexistence between mankind and nature surpasses narrow-minded ideologies and is the true salvation for our survival and prosperity. This virtuous circle is our greatest and everlasting contribution to our own existence,” said Yong.

Comedian Hal Sparks will emcee at the dinner and Awards Celebration, known as the “Academy Awards of Cleantech.” Sparks, an American actor, comedian, musician and television personality, is best known for his contributions to VH1, hosting E!'s Talk Soup, the role of Michael Novotny on the American television series Queer as Folk, and as Donald Davenport in Disney’s Lab Rats.

Rex Northen, executive director of the Cleantech Open, commented: “We recognize that Cao Yong’s artwork represents excellence internationally and we are honored that he will be unveiling his latest work at the Cleantech Open Global Forum just weeks before he and his new painting will be honored at the Great Hall of the People’s Republic of China in Beijing — the White House of China.”

ABOUT CAO YONG
One of the most celebrated living artists in the world, Cao Yong was born in China in 1962 and is now a US citizen, found peace and consolation in drawing at age five, and often skipped meals and pawned his clothes to buy art supplies. At eleven he began studying with a noted artist in Beijing and received his BFA in 1983. He lived for seven years in Tibet, including a now-legendary year studying prehistoric cave paintings and creating artwork while living alone in a deserted mountain cave. The artist’s most prolific outpouring of work began when he arrived to the USA in 1994. Pouring his talent into oil and canvas to depict scenes he has experienced around the world, Yong has become one of the most collected living artists in America and his paintings have been exhibited worldwide, and even in New York’s Times Square on NASDAQ billboards. Yong is celebrated daily within his own art gallery built in his honor in Beijing and his art is sold in over 200 galleries globally. Yong now aims to bridge East and West in his paintings and to create harmony throughout the world, making it a better place for all to enjoy.
