"Jin Jian Solo Exhibition"
2008-11-02 until 2008-11-14
Art Scene Warehouse
Shanghai, , CN China

At Art Scene Warehouse, one can appreciate the interesting and experimental work of Jin Jian. The young artist was chosen out of more than 1000 applicants to participate with only 25 others in the internationally renowned “Chinese Art Prize”. He was also chosen to feature at Art Cologne (2008). Jin paints ordinary vehicles – trucks and tractors among them – to convey his feelings about contemporary China.

In one piece, a cargo truck carries yet another load to somewhere unknown. His oil paintings are mysterious and extraordinary. The use of negative space juxtaposed with dripping paint (his signature mode) adds a certain ambiance which creates a lonely mood. There is much more than meets the eye to Jin’s work.
