He trained as an oil painter under the tutelage of Fujishima Takeji in Tokyo, and subsequently returned to China in 1922 and taught at both the Shanghai Fine Arts School and the National Academy of Art in Hangzhou. Although Guan began his career as an oil painter, he later focused on traditional Chinese ink wash painting that featured characters from Peking operas.

古城牆下 Under the Old Wall 簽名鈐印右下：關良 Signed lower right Guan Liang in Chinese and with a seal of the artist 關良是中國第一代油畫家，1917 年留學日本，受日本外光派、野獸派風格影響，返國後致力於美術創作，以具有民族性的改良油畫，及生動傳神的水墨戲曲人物畫著稱。關良提倡學習傳統的同時，也學習現代，以使自己的作品能反映當今世界文化所發展的高度，更富於時代性。《古城橋下》展現藝術家精湛的寫實技巧，體現了藝術家在西方藝術風格中融入了中國藝術情思的主張。 Guan Liang was the first generation of oil painters in China. He went to Japan to study Western painting techniques in 1917 and was strongly influenced by the Japanese Fauvism of the Impressionists. He devoted his whole life in art creation after returning to China. He was famous for his reformed oil painting with a national tone, and vivid opera figures in Chinese Paintings. Guan Liang not only emphasized the learning of the tradition but also of the modern. His paintings are the reflection of cultural development in today's world as well as contemporaneity. "Under the Old wall" displays the artist's skillfully realistic style, reflecting the artist's claim to incorporate sentiment of Chinese arts into western arts.
