Geng Jianyi

ShanghART Gallery, Shanghai

Works from the last 10 years. In all Geng Jianyi's works till today, the concern is for looking, looking closely at something small, a fragment, a detail of what is in essence quite ordinary, and through it, becoming aware of ourselves, our existence and the potential of this awareness to shape what is taking place.


comunicato stampa

Works from the last 10 years.

(an exhibition of rare and historic pieces by Geng Jianyi from the ShanghART collection)

Hangzhou based artists Geng Jianyi is one of the most interesting and influencial persons of the contemporary Chinese art world since the mid-80's. Born in 1962, he graduated from the oil painting department of the Zhejiang Academy in 1985. In the mid- to late-1980s Geng Jianyi was part of an extremely active and influential group of artists linked to Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts. ... In all Geng Jianyi's works till today, the concern is for looking, looking closely at something small, a fragment, a detail of what is in essence quite ordinary, and through it, becoming aware of ourselves, our existence and the potential of this awareness to shape what is taking place.

.. what makes Geng Jianyi special is that he has produced [over the last twenty years] one of the most consistent and profound bodies of works to have come out of the Chinese avant-garde movement (Karen Smith)

Geng Jianyi, born 1962, lives and works in Hangzhou, where he teaches now at new media center of China Academy of Fine Arts.

"I am interested in our awareness of what has happened, what is taking place, what will unfold; and our part in the process." Geng Jianyi
