We don't know much about the artist, just the initials ZXH, but the painting speaks for itself. Ghostcatcher is bold, strange, and unforgettable. It's exactly what the title promises, and that mystery is part of what made us hold onto it for so long. I acquired the piece from Ying Art Gallery around 25 years ago.
