About the Artist: Chinese Artist Jiang Tiefeng was born in 1938,in Ningbo, Zhejiiang Province, in China. Even as a child he displayed a great love and talent for painting and drawing, and early on he knew the course his life would take.
A colorist, Jiang’s intention was to reverse the trend of the stale Chinese tradition of painting in gray, black, and white. Jiang says: “Chinese art had reached a sick level due to its lack of color.”Jiang’s colors are of unsurpassed richness.
Jiang Tiefeng is a storyteller. His paintings are steeped in Buddhist and Chinese mythology. Each figure has a symbolic meaning. The paintings have so much complexity and visual fascination that the viewer is constantly seeing something new. Jiang says “For every picture there is a story, and for every story there is a picture.”
Jiang’s vision has continued to grow and expand. Probably because of his personal experience in two cultures he has increasingly seen the world as a single system, as a meeting place of diverse forces. The founder of the Yunan School of Art, Jiang Tiefeng is clearly the leading exponent of art in China today.
