Currently studying for his PhD at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, Ye Jian Qing is a young talent who shows surprising maturity as an artist. At the age of 31, he has earned international accolades through exhibitions in countries such as Spain and Australia. His landscape paintings embody old China, capturing his birthplace in a splitting moment as its olden charm lays victim to the speed and siege of urbanization.
His facility to employ the thin, carefully constructed lines essential in traditional, scholar ink paintings, a form exalted by the Chinese literati, and substitute the medium for oil instead, attests to the artist’s experiential gift; infusing time-honoured sentiments into western structures.
