A prominent figure in China’s New-Wave art movement, Wu also lectured at the Central Academy and was named one of China’s ten most influential avant-garde artists. In 1989, Wu and his family emigrated to Austria, where he established a studio with his wife, the sculptor Jiang Shuo. Having exhibited extensively in Asia, Europe and America, Wu’s works are widely collected by important museums and prestigious institutions worldwide.

Ling Jian

Following his critically acclaimed “Communist Sister” series, Ling Jian has continued exploring issues concerning communism and the role of women in a changing Chinese society. Through his paintings, Ling Jian also explores the evolution of Chinese cultural identity as a whole. Beautiful women are depicted in a provocative and highly sexual style, this contrasts sharply with the conservative and restrained image of the true communist female soldier. Indeed, Ling Jians works are replete with contrasts; Beauty and love contrast with violence and war, fragility and femininity contrast with power and masculinity. The paintings themselves are executed with incredible skill, in a highly realistic manner. Despite this semblance of reality however, Ling Jian’s subjects appear to be in a surreal world, populated by angels and rifles. Having participated in many solo and group exhibitions worldwide, Ling Jian is fast being recognised s one of China’s greatest talents.

Wu Jianjun

Wu Jianjun, graduated from Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts, has been drawing the attention of many arts lovers in recent years. The series of ‘Body Pattern’ looks like a human being distorted to a mass of bones, with bright fiery yellow and green colors, audiences are imploded into the most inner feelings of childhood nightmares. Explaining why he chooses this theme, the artist, Wu Jianjun, 42, says ‘this series of paintings conjure up images of people who are cooped up in a pressurized society and desire freedom. These exaggerated bodies are representation of the spirits of the human being under various emotional states. They are anxious, frightened, shocked, dismayed, sad and horrified.’ The artist is aware of this resonance and seeks to reveal and release these emotions through visual effect.

Wu Jianjun has always been passionate and amazed by the physique of human body. In his paintings, he transforms psychological turmoil onto his canvases, capturing a wide intensity of emotion and facets of the inner life of himself and others. He has always been very interested and intuitive to body language, observing people’s posture and gestures for many years, including people with whom he is not familiar. He is one of few of artists who explore human being’s inner world through the bodies’ perspective. He believes the body reflects the human being’s inner world more than the face does.

Chinese contemporary art is becoming bizarre and getting more attention. Artist Wu Jianjun, confines himself to a few bold colors and shapes, leaving many people insecure and uneasy. His painting has raised a lot of collectors’ eyebrows.

YU FAN

About the Artist

Yu Fan is a well known Chinese artist who works with sculpture. His installation Horses is made up of four galloping horse sculptures, each with a different pose, installed at the east gate of the Shanghai Art Museum, creating a sense of space-time inversion. Through this work, the artist attempts to stimulate viewers imaginations and stimulate old memories of the building housing the Museum. The work also invites viewers to interact with the public space. With these horses running on the track once again, people can’t help but ask: Do the horses play the role of hosts or guests? (Note that the site of the museum used to be a racetrack.) The viewers and horses all seem to be transported back in history, becoming a part of a 'surprising dream'

UNMASK

UNMASK was established in Beijing in 2001 and is made up of the following 3 artists:

Liu Zhan, Born in Henan Luo Yang, China, 1976
Kuang Jun, Born in Jiangxi Ping Xiang, China, 1978
Tan Tian Wei, Born in Hunan Changde, China, 1976

All three graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing, in 2002
UNMASK is a prime example of artists who are primarily interested in creating a genuine philosophy of art, in proposing new ideas and visions, rather than simply replicating the status quo. In their current works, UNMASK play on people’s perceptions of normality. We are programmed by the “norms” of everyday life to expect certain things. Therefore, when UNMASK present us with mere fragments of sculptures, our minds alter these “abnormal” images into ones with which we are more familiar, effectively filling in the blanks. UNMASK leaves it to our own preconceptions to change their works within our minds, forming images which we find “acceptable

Wang Luyan

Born: Beijing, 1956
Lives and works in: Beijing
Graduated from Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts, Hangzhou, 1988

Wang Luyan has never been primarily interested in public plaudits for his art. In fact, he stopped exhibiting altogether in the mid-1990’s rather than adapt his works to comply with the popular demand for Western influenced artworks based on predictable themes of Chinese revolution and politics. Now that the artistic environment in China has changed, Wang Luyan believes that there is once more “soil” in which his ideas can take root. Through his unique and distinctive style, Wang’s critical voice can now once again be heard

Qin Fengling

Qin Fengling was born in Beijing in 1957. She is a self-taught artist. In 1985, she began working with oil and acrylic on canvas.

Qin Fengling has developed her own unique style of painting and found her own art language.. Ignoring traditionally accepted methods, she creates pieces that can only be described as “sculpture on canvas”. Qin Fengling forms figures by squeezing colours directly from tubes onto her canvas, thereby effectively painting and sculpting her three-dimensional characters at the same time. This technique lends Qin Fengling’s work an originality and uniqueness that very few artists can claim. She takes a style of individuation, an admiring personality of freedom, independence and creativity. Her attitude toward art has preserved her active, struggling, modest and optimistic spirit.

Chen Wenling

Chen Wenling is well known for his highly distinctive sculptures which often feature a pig or other animal personified to form a grotesque commentary on modern consumerist society. His style is raw and to some even repulsive, fullness of form takes on a special kind of strength. Countless shapes come together irrationally, forcing the viewer to fall into an unaccountable raptive. In Chen Wenling’s idea, the very “unacceptability” of his works is where their strength lies. His sculptures have the power to affect the viewer deeply and whether you are enchanted or disturbed by them, they are always thought provoking.

About the Artist

Su Xinping established self-consciousness and his own subjectivity, and defined his self-identity. In face, seld-identity is two-way confirmation; it is the identifying of not only one's self, but also of the relation between oneself and the other. Within this double relationship, each individual is concerned with himself and makes reference to the other. Even the most immanent individual subjectivity is linked with the other, and with the public. Su Xinping's works in the early 90's transformed the relationship between the artist, the painting and the audience into an intimate relation between the heart and an individual interested in humanity, self recognition, and sympathy. In the process of presenting the immanent spiritual world of an individual, Su Xinping allows us to participate in the conscious activity of the artist himself.

Education

1983 Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts

1989 Central Academy of Fine Arts
