An Kun 安堃 1968 Born in Jiangsu Province, China 1990 Graduated from Suzhou Art&Design Technology Institute, China 1994 Studied in Central Academy of Fine Art, Beijing, China Now living in Beijing Born in 1968, An Kun was set on painting without any particular reason other then just enjoying the time he spends standing in front of the canvas pouring out his inspiration. Though his choose to become an artist much like his contemporaries was to choose a life of poverty, he has never tired, rather persists in solitude, until now. He naturally shines through in his latest series about ‘ZEN’. An Kun himself explains that the contemporary environment has too much blunder, thick color and shallow meanings that block people from thinking, leaving them at a loss. As most people do, after graduation An Kun held many jobs. While working as an art designer as well as a decoration designer for a corporation, he was hardly able to release his soul and be free in his creation. Recalling how he felt at the time, he said only painting could bring his mind back. Therefore, he relieved himself from the “mess” and offered his self a chance for freedom in life through art. He prefers to stay in the studio by himself, working quietly and meditating with great composure, which demonstrates his natural otherworldly instincts.

Chen Shi 陈实 Born in Beijing in 1963 1996 graduated from the Beijing Xuanwu Hongqi amateur University commercial art Chen Shi takes the idea of media and representations to another level. What is the truth of what we see or hear every day is a question that Chen wants us to think about. The media permeates into our daily lives in every way, influencing the modern youngster’s way of experiencing the world and our lives. Information is constantly pushed upon us in different ways or forms, for instance, from the spectacular neon advertisements in Times Square to the information being shared on Facebook. As the global economy gets better, the traditional methods of advertisement and communication such as leaflets, DMs, newspapers, are gradually vanishing. Chen Shi pulls off the leaflets from lampposts and walls in China, taking specific words or messages from the leaflets, rearranges them on the canvas, this way, these advertisements are no longer a form of media, but a carrier of collective memories and a way to document our history. Through his critique, Chen Shi’s paintings weave intricate narratives, implicating the role of the artist as an active participant (both as subjugator and subservient) in the economic and social policy of contemporary China today.

Chen Wenling
陈文令
Chen Wenling is a representative of China’s contemporary artists. His art, besides presenting vividly and in concrete the complex relationship among animals living according to the law of jungle, is provocatively bringing to light crisis behind these pungent scenes, of morality, credibility and faith among men. This is indeed the nature of Chen’s artistic conception. He employs fresh and vivid visual language to provide the audience a new way of seeing and understanding.

We deal with major visual experiences that have emerged from modern Chinese society, these experiences are concrete, realistic and unique, they can only appear in a society when the process of rapid economic development is not accompanied by a cultivation of aesthetic value. To employ photography to represent these experiences is far from being faithful to them. The best way to document such experiences is to take them as basis to depict more exciting scenes, they present more objective validity then; this is also the best approach to broad horizons of those visual experience as it provides us infinite possibilities.

Fan Xiaoyan
龚栋
A genius of an artist at just 27, Fan Xiaoyan is one of the most distinctive and unique Chinese Contemporary sculptors today. Born in Gaomi, Shangdong province of China, Xiaoyan graduated from the prestigious Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2008. At first glance, Fan Xiaoyan is the exact opposite of her art. She is delicate, almost fragile looking...that is until you see her works, you’ll know what you’re looking at is extraordinary talent. Xiaoyan’s works are increadibly intense. When you look at these works you’re not just looking at Chinese art, but at a universal art that touches you directly. There is definitely a feminist message emanating from Xiaoyan’s sculptures. The woman is at the centre of her work is always part of certain improbable and surrealistic situations. However she is always feminine and realistic. In olden China women were always appeased and its only during the first part of the 20th century that the communist party launched a campaign to emancipate women. Woman acquired an equality of principle with men but in the process lost some of their femininity such as wearing the same famous blue Mao outfit as men. Fan Xiaoyan’s women are naked, free and ambitious just like China which is growing faster & fadter. She fights against outside forces, runs through brick wall, move mountains...but despite it all she is still a women, sensuous and feminine. It is quite impossible to categorize Xiaoyan’s sculptures as they unveil with acuteness the powerful energies hidden in the light and the shapes. They are unique, expressive, readable but still extremely creative. They are puzzling and spectacular, shocking and touching, very lively and sensual altogether.

Gong Dong 龚栋 Born in Fujian, China in 1977, Gong Dong graduated from the Fuzhou Art Institute, Sculpture Department. Gong Dong constantly draws inspiration from the abundance of life experiences as he feels that art will never move a viewer if it lacks real emotion. He strongly believes that art is a necessary pleasure that enhances the lives of individuals and humanity, saving it from being a barren life. He is particularly mindful of the usage of the philosophies and language of art. His sculptures have a few distinct features that make them stand out: accurate and sharp portrayals of emotion, a flair for simplicity and a meticulous attention to the smallest detail. As a contemporary sculptor – immersed in the developments of daily life and the influences of presentday schools of thought towards art – he is able to express his individual flair in his pieces whilst recognizing that these forms have to be infused with an air of modernity. He performs this infusion not with a separate, deliberate attempt to inject additional meaning to his pieces because it is required of him. Rather, they are derived from his particular intuition and experience in art, guiding him towards a natural expression that is uniquely his own.

He Wenjue
何汶玦
He’s artwork easily attracts due to the dual nature of the images: he tries to reconstruct his memory in them, from the time when he was an adolescent, but he approaches the reconstruction through the approach of extracting and transforming images from films that are familiar to every Chinese of his generation. Such a peculiar character of his works, esp. the cinema drawings series, enables his audience to experience not only his personal feeling and attitude with respect to that time and society, but also shows intimately the Zeitgeist of Chinese society at its budding age of reformation, an adolescence that the generation of He shares with this nation.

Jiang Guofang
姜國芳
Jiang Guofang was born in 1951 in Shangjiang Village, Jiangxi Province. In 1968 during the Cultural Revolution, he joined the army when his parents were sent to labor camps. His family was later reunited and between 1969-1972 Jiang Guofang began to train himself as an artist. In 1973, after the re-opening of the prestigous Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing, he was selected as one of only eight students to enter the Oil Painintg Department. When he graduated with honors in 1978, he was appointed to the facaulty of the Central Acaemy. In 1979, he went on to teach at the Central Institute of Drama. Being the only Contemporary artist renowned for his lively and astonishing depictions of scenes from Ancient China, Jiang Guofang’s works have been recognized and exhibtied internationally in several Solo shows from Hong Kong to Venice Palace in Rome, as well as numorous group shows. He was also the first Contemporary artist to have a one-man show presented at the Forbidden City, Beijing in 2004. Speaking about his Forbidden City series, Jiang Guo Fang said, “The path that leads to the entrance of the Qianqinggong Palace always suggests the idea of destiny. As one walks through this doorway, one can imagine the struggles of power and love in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, as well as history and its outcome. What lies ahead for these men, women & children, are the burden of history, infinite uncertainty, and the destiny of the ruling class that has been passed on. The Palace has the depth and mystery of the ocean.”

廖真武
Liao Zhenwu was born in Sichuan Province, China in 1964. He Graduated from the Oil Painting Department, Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing, China as well as graduated from the Arts Department, Sichuan College of Education, Chengdu, China. In Liao Zhenwu’s latest works of windows series, he becomes interested in the window models which can be seen everywhere along the streets of large cities. Walter Benjamin’s description of the streets and shop windows of western cities as well as the loafers or vagrants wandering around the cities at night is, to a great extent, applicable to today’s urban scenes in China. The models in the shop windows symbolize the commercial society and also represent the indifference of the consumption society.

Liu Fei 刘飞 They are happy, full of the desires, innocence and vitality of youth. Yet their images provoke in you a kind of unease that is close to despair. That is the visual experience of Liu Fei’ s recent series of paintings, “Bold+Trendy”.The theme of this series is groups of young girls in student uniforms of the 1920s.They have shaved their heads bald and are laughing with their mouths wide open, exposing rows of teeth. The images these girls make an unforgettable impression. Not because of their beauty, or their special disposition or aura. In fact, they are memorable because they are ugly. Usually we remember people for one of two reasons-either because they are good-looking or because they are odd in some way. Liu fei’s girls belong in the latter category. His means of expression is an exaggerated anti-aestheticism. The elements he uses are not taken from life. Rather, they are derived from female students in the 1920s-a white blouse with a black skirt. They have appeared in many novels, movies and photographs of the period. However, in these historical images they are accompanied by faces of innocence and beauty. Indeed, they represent an era of innocence. In Liu Fei’ s paintings, in contrast, the girl’s hair is completely shaved off, exposing their bald heads, reminding us of gangsters or rock’ n roll stars. Those cherry lips of the 1920s are no longer innocent and sensual; they are replaced by wide-open lips in fearless laughs that expose rows of large teeth. The girl also strikes various poses, taken from trendy magazines, commercial movies and TV programmes.

Liu Hong 劉虚 An oil painter who use females to test the bitter sweetness of life; this is what I know about Liu Hong. Female bodies painted by Liu Hong are always like quiet, emotional poems. They are pretty, calm and reserved, yet exudes a certain sadness. They seem to be singing very, very soundlessly. No matter they are set up in a background of black and white combination or in a background of emptiness, those realistic human bodies will provide you with some sort of indicative feeling...

Liu Liguo
刘力国
Liu Liguo is an example of the Chinese style and trend we call “Gaudy Art”, a school of thought whose subscribers often make use of pastiche in their illustration of the vulgarity of contemporary society. In recent years, Liu Liguo has become specialized in ceramic sculpture. With a wealth of humor he creates vases that revisit the symbolically charged era of Qing Dynasty ceramics. However, the message retains none in its former subtlety but is rather quite openly provocative.

Luo Brothers 罗氏兄弟 The three Luo Brothers, Luo Wei Dong, Luo Wei Bing and Luo Wei Guo, make works on paper, lacquer on wood panel, carved wood panels and statues out of lacquered resin. In all cases the works are riotous creations of kitsch. These works come from the side of the oriental nature that loves the bright lights and red lanterns that adorn every Chinese restaurant and city at festival time, that loves the peasant handicrafts containing masses of multicoloured flowers, that loves the fat babies meant to bring prosperity and success. Given this as their starting point, the three brothers have added the symbols of the new consumerism, now omnipresent in their country, as well as the symbols of the communist revolution into which they were born. In their series “The World’s Most Famous Brands” most of the world’s foreign consumer products have been held aloft by a Luo brothers’ bouncing baby. This is undoubtedly the chaotic mix that artists like the Luo Brothers see every day. In fact, when one thinks about it, the same mix can be found in other cultures around the world. However, what is so different about the Chinese experience is the way it has happened so quickly. In the span of thirty years since the death of Mao China has gone from a drab, uniformly colourless society that went to bed by 9 pm to one that makes the eyes and ears ache with the 24 hour assault of colours, lights and noise. The Luo Brothers are both reflecting and contributing to this explosion of vitality.

Luo Jie 罗杰 Born in 1968. Graduated from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 1991. Luo Jie finds his own redemption by the laborious process of painting. Luo Jie’s course of life echoes the tragedy of his father. His obligations towards his family prevented him from following his artistic career and the awareness of failure led him to despair and depression. It is only after his parent’s death that he could resume art as a full time occupation. In his works he is preoccupied with suffering and loss. He feels imprisoned within himself. The fishing nets of his father have become the entangled ropes in his paintings. He is obsessed with the haunting images of tortured men and women, faceless, genderless, anonymous, empty creatures, composed of multiple layers of ropes with loose ends slowly falling apart. Like himself his heroes are victims of their fate.

Lv Yanjun
呂岩軍
There are a number of works about the Revolution Period in Chinese history, mostly being labeled as ‘political pop art’ or ‘cynical realism’. Many times these works feature characters that are either warped, numb or abnormal. However, the young girls in Lv Yanjun’s paintings are amazingly beautiful. In fact, they often remind us of the beauty and youthfulness that were throttled during those mad years. Sometimes in Lv’s paintings the characters are disproportional, but such disproportion embodies a sculpture-like, aesthetic feeling of solemnity and peacefulness, and this is a beautiful feeling without further reasoning. Like how the famous Chinese painter Qi Baishi once said, wonder exists between likeness & unlikeness. The essence of sacristy comes into full view through Lv’s works; that art is not just a blinded replica of reality, but a powerful and hearty expression of the spirit in real life. Lv focuses on the facial expressions of the young women, his exquisite painting style reveals the delicacy of oriental women’s porcelain-like skin texture. The pale faces under the caps shows an incarnation of the depression and confinement of the past. It is rebellious, it reveals desires, and it strikes against our vision. His pieces have been exhibited internationally and Private Collectors from all over the world collect his works.

Ma Jun 馬軍 Ma Jun was born on February 28, 1974 in Qingdao, Shandong Province into a military family. At just 5 or 6 years old, Ma had already left behind the playground exploits of his peers and began his new fixation - copying the flowers and birds in classical paintings. During primary school, his parents found art teachers to train his passion. Before high school, he had already decided on his direction in life: art. After Qingdao Art School, he graduated from the prestigious Central Academy of Fine Arts with his Bachelor’s and then Master’s degrees. In the ‘New China Series’, each of Ma’s sculptures is completely covered in traditional Qing flower patterns, birds, dragons, clouds and scenes. The artist makes no reference to modern brand signage, but instead imprints the pieces with maker’s marks that denote their imagined “official” ancestral origins during the height of Qing dynasty rule under emperors including Qian Long and Kang Xi. For Ma, his references to the dynastic past serve as a concept of a rich cultural and historical tradition. The shapes of the sculptures are immediately recognizable popular brands and items that have become visually branded into the country’s subconscious - the new objects or narratives of the country’s foundational mythology. By using the everyday objects of his childhood and combining them with this decorative style, he retains the notion of a pop-cultural reference to the quotidian sublime, yet references an imagined bridge between the nation’s and a personal cultural past and their intersecting futures.

Pan Dehai
潘德海
Our everyday life is comprised mainly of petty things and trifling details, however, to ‘fuss over’ them is not without sense. To observe them carefully can bring some kind of change to ourselves, to experience this change will bring our thoughts and feelings confront vis-à-vis in the stream of our past and present as well as stimulate our potential talents, to allow us to go back to the provenance of art and the departure of life. I think it is highly interesting to express one’s thoughts and feelings into a kind of unsophisticated form, more valuable than fuss over lifeless symbols or concepts.

Ren Zhe 䝝哲 Graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts Sculpture Department, Tsinghua University and he is a member of the China Sculpture Institute. Ren Zhe is touted as one of the most accomplished young Chinese contemporary sculptors of today, and he has recently showcased 28 bronze and stainless steel sculptures in his first ever solo exhibition in Singapore. Seemingly traditional, his ideas and concepts closely relate to contemporary culture. Drawing inspiration from Japanese anime, he infuses his expertise in metal casting techniques to create truly magnificent and unique warrior sculptures that are filled with spirit and character. Ren Zhe does not strive to create a feeling of realism; but carves and sculpts sparingly, focusing on the characteristic pose of a movement to give an aura of heroic grandeur.

Salvador Dali Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, 1st Marquis of Púbol(May 11, 1904 – January 23, 1989) was a Spanish Catalan surrealist painter born in Figueres. Dalí (Spanish pronunciation: for Spanish”>[da li]) was a skilled draftsman, best known for the striking and bizarre images in his surrealist work. His painterly skills are often attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters. His best-known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in 1931. Dalí’s expansive artistic repertoire includes film, sculpture, and photography, in collaboration with a range of artists in a variety of media. Dalí attributed his “love of everything that is gilded and excessive, my passion for luxury and my love of oriental clothes” to a self-styled “Arab lineage,” claiming that his ancestors were descended from the Moors. Dalí was highly imaginative, and also had an affinity for partaking in unusual and grandiose behavior, in order to draw attention to himself. This sometimes irked those who loved his art as much as it annoyed his critics, since his eccentric manner sometimes drew more public attention than his artwork.

Groups of people are intertwined and climbing forward where they are searching for hope and breakthrough, despite the historical references that influences the circumstances that surround them. They remain determined as they strive upward. The Red Men series work through a visual sensation of contrast and question: Where do they come from and where will they go? The artist has developed this theme by observing people whom came from poor environment but want to reach a better position of higher status. In Shi’s works, Chairman Mao is depicted as the symbol of high position in the Chinese society. Shi Lifeng’s works have gained international recognition with exhibitions within China as well as in France, Denmark, and Sweden, just to name a few. Museums and Private collectors from all over the world collect his pieces. Interestingly, the album ‘Chinese Democracy’ by Guns ‘N’ Roses features Shi Lifeng’s work as the cover.

Shi Wei 石巍 Shi Wei was born in 1965 in Hubei Province, China. He graduated from the Hubei Academy of Fine Arts with a Masters degree in art and now lives and works in Beijing, teaching at Beijing City University. He has held numerous exhibitions in China as well as in Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong just to name a few. Shi Wei’s subject matter revolves around the sensuality of the female form, and the image of the “beautiful skinny woman” has now become his trademark. Each woman has her own characteristics and the artist is careful to give them each their own identity. Some gaze out of the painting with nonchalance, a vacant expression of indifference, whereas others are overtly seductive with engaging “come hither” looks. Although each face is different, the message conveyed is the same; these women are all products of China’s new open door policy, flourishing under its fast moving economic development. Born in the 1980s and 1990s they seem, however, detached from reality, adrift in a meaningless world of consumerism. Their emaciated bodies highlight their yearning desire to be fashionable and stylish, and yet a mood of emptiness permeates form the works. Through this collection of works Shi Wei masterfully depicts the “here and now” of life in the economic-boom towns of China and what it means for the young generation of women growing up in this environment.

Yu Fan 于凡 In his modern ambition to ‘construct human beings’ Yu Fan believes that if sculptures do not refer to actuality then they have to advance on the way of symbol-spirituality. He is, in effect, attempting to unify Chinese traditional “man of Nature’ with the modern subject, namely to combine into this man the compassion for all living beings with the modern notion of sacrifice. This is certainly not merely an attempt to reinvigorate language, to reinstate the same form or fashion the spirit, the reconstruction of spirit and form is of the same ‘principle’ (body), language is the shape of the proper principle while this shape is both subject and shape. Extracted from the spirit of shape: man and its form in Yu’s sculpture written by Zhu Qi

Yue Minjun
岳敏君
Immediately humorous and sympathetic, Yue Minjun’s paintings offer a lighthearted approach to philosophical enquiry and contemplation of existence. Drawing connotations to the disparate images of the Laughing Buddha and the inane gap toothed grin of Alfred E. Newman, Yue’s self-portraits have been describe by theorist Li Xianting as “a self-ironic response to the spiritual vacuum and folly of modernday China.” Often basing his compositions on well known European masterpieces and iconic Chinese art, Yue subverts the grandiose aura of art history through his adaptation of pop aesthetics. Using both the exaggerated expressiveness of cartooning and the stylistic rendering of graphic illustration, Yue depicts his cloned doppelgangers as contorted and grotesque, all scalded pink skin and maniacal toothy cackles.

Zeng Fanzhi
曾梵志
Zeng Fanzhi (1964 Wuhan) is one of China’s most dynamic and expressive painters. Unlike many of the other well-known Chinese painters, Zeng’s subjects are not political but psychological. His series of paintings, about hospitals, meat and masked figures, as well as his latest series of portraits set along the coast, are powerful, expressive pieces that hint at the psychological state of man — or woman — in the modern world, and perhaps the inner psyche of the artist. His works have been called apocalyptic or dark portraits of reality. They are images of sickness, cruelty, pain and longing. In his most well-known “Mask” series, Zeng’s figures wear a white mask; they are mostly well-dressed urbanites, but they have large, strange hands, weird expressions, blank stares or puzzling eyes. His works often have sharp brush strokes, or even slashing strokes that reveal tensions in what might be seen in a splintered universe.

Zhang Xiaogang
张晓刚
Zhang Xiaogang is best known for his Big Family series, which he has been working on since 1993. The spark for these works came from old family photographs. What interested the artist was the complexity of life and emotions behind the family scenes portrayed. The concept of a big family in China goes far beyond one’s immediate family and the ties of family blood. Collectivism is an inherent part of Chinese social history and the ties of social and cultural blood are very strong forces indeed. In his paintings the artist captures the superficial homogeneity of the collectivity through the smooth, unblemished faces and evenly staring eyes - touched up as they would have been in the photographers’ studio. Small idiosyncrasies, one crossed eye, glasses, a mole, imperfect teeth or a wisp of hair gone astray, reveal individual differences. As Zhang Xiaogang says we live in a big family, the first thing we learn is how to shut ourselves up in a secret small cell and pretend to keep step with all the other members of the Family.

It wasn’t just German Neo-Expressionism that inspired him, but his German Shepherd, Heigen. The dog became his chief subject for more than ten years. Zhou describes the green dog as a sort of symbolic self portrait. He interprets the background as a field of uncertainty, loneliness, and distance between people, while the dogs express a wide variety of emotions. He says, “[The Green Dog’s] image and situation project my cultural characters and my circumstance of reality in life.”
