Born in 1944 in Wusheng, Sichuan province, Luo Jianwu grew up in
Taichung and graduated from the National Art Institute of Taipei in 1966.
In 1987 Luo moved to New York for over a decade and eventually relocated
back to China. Luo’s paintings of mountains and old trees evoke a deep
connection between himself and nature. Luo is a self-taught artist in the
ink and brush genre. He mastered his skills through meticulous observation
and ceaseless practice, having spent many hours at the National Palace
Museum studying classical Chinese paintings. Although Luo’s works
suggest a strong influence by Song, Yuan and Ming painterly styles,
his compositions and his realistic approach in depicting rocks and tree
branches show his earlier training in Western art and his will to instil new
elements to traditional ink paintings.
羅建武，1944 年生於四川，於台中長大，1966 年畢業於台北國立藝術
學院。1987 年，羅建武搬到紐約居住十多年，最終遷回中國。羅建武山
水和古樹的作品表現出畫家與大自然之間深切的關係。羅建武從小就在
台中的郊區被群山和古樹包圍，後期在紐約中央公園又被當地的松樹吸
引。跟大部分工筆風格畫家不同，他水墨的功底為自學成才，並沒有拜
師學藝。通過細緻的觀察和不斷的實踐，他掌握了自己的技能，並長時
間在故宮博物院學習古代中國書畫，尤以宋代山水最能啟發他的創作。
雖然羅建武的作品明顯有著宋、元、明的繪畫風格，但他的構圖和他描
繪岩石和樹枝的寫實手法表現出他早年的西方藝術訓練和他對傳統水墨
畫灌輸的新元素。
