Catalogue Note
Born in Harbin in 1963, Wang Jinsong is a leading contemporary Chinese artist whose artistic explorations over the past three decades include ink painting, oil painting, installation, photography and video art. A graduate from the Chinese painting department at the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts in Hangzhou, Wang is most familiar with the medium of ink, even though his earliest oil paintings were recognized at the forefront of China’s Cynical Realism and Political Pop art movements. Wang’s works have been exhibited extensively around the world as part of breakout exhibitions of contemporary Chinese art, such as China Avant-Garde: Counter-Currents in Art and Culture (1993), China’s New Art Post 1989 (1993), and Inside Out: New Chinese Art (1998).
