About the artist: Jiang is the founder of the Yunnan School of Painting, one of the most important contemporary movements of abstract art in China. His works are richly colored and his imagery contains figurative elements with contrasting patterns. Considered to be at the forefront of contemporary Chinese art, Jiang paints as if creating stained glass windows, concentrating on women, horses, birds, and flowers through brightly colored ink and calligraphic lines. Jiang attended the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. He studied with the renowned Chinese artist, Huang Yong-Yu. During the 1960s and early 1970s, Jiang was assigned to produce propaganda posters during Mao’s Cultural Revolution. At night Jiang secretly worked on his own style. He works primarily in watercolor and serigraphy and his works have been actively collected worldwide since the early 1980s. From 1976 to 1983, Jiang served on the board of directors for the Yunnan branch of the Chinese National Art Association. He was also a member of the Chinese Woodblock Association. Later, Jiang was an instructor and professor at the Yunnan Art Institute. In 1979, he was commissioned by the government to paint a mural representing Yunnan Province which was installed in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. A year later, Jiang was awarded second place in an international United Nations competition, and in 1983, he came to the United States as part of a cultural exchange program with the University of Southern California. 20230521X9224 S-10660 30x30x6
