Art Besiege - A Group Exhibition of Art by Beijing Based Artists

February 19 - March 13 ‘08


Sunjin Galleriesis is pleased to announce a group exhibition of Beijing based artists.

China is still dizzying with contemporary art. The emergence of talented painters there holds no bounds. ‘Art Besiege’ is a myriad of artworks presented by the generation of artists who grew up during the Cultural Revolution and were students during the 1989 democracy protests are still in the midst of fashioning a legacy that has left art collectors and museums in breathless states of desire.

Ren Hui’s creation of black and white woodcut works, his chiseling myriads of fine white dots to construct images of himself and his friends, leaving people a visual effect not only imposing but majestic in a variety of ways.

Ren Jian Hui’s new series of monochromatic green portraits are a visual feast. Adopting the very popular Chinese splash ink technique invented by the famous Zhang Da Chien Chinese painter, Ren does it by processing the oil paints to be so thin and applying the ink-splattering’ technique on the canvas resulting semi realism and abstraction, background and foreground, contemporary and classical, and Western and Chinese art.

Since the terracotta warriors were discovered in 1974 by farmers digging for a well in Xian, this life sized and lifelike army has become an icon of China's past, instantly recognizable all over the world. The terracotta warriors were the 8,000 strong underground army buried in Emperor Qin Shi Huang Ti's tomb (221 - 207 BC), to protect him in his afterlife.

Li Feng Hua's sculptures are a wry, witty look at his country's history and future post-Cultural Revolution direction. Two thousand years separate China's first emperor and Mao. But Li's modern ceramic warriors can be seen as an artistic statement of the morally complicated legacy of these two leaders - both great revolutionary leaders and yet, both great criminals, who have left a lasting legacy on China.

Jin Yu’s Touch Point series are a reflection of the women in Modern China. Yu kept to the mainstream of figurative art but the rendering of figures pressed against a glass and simplified colours of red and white leaves the viewer with a vivid imagination.
