Jia Yuan-Hua
Chinese Contemporary Art by Jia Yuan-Hua - Night on the Great Wall

2024

About the Item

Framed, 72 x 72 x 4 cm The Great Wall of China is world famous. Tens of millions of tourists from around the world come to visit it every year. Now man-made damage and littering has become increasingly serious. 1/3 Great Wall has vanished, like the plum blossom, floating down to the ground. The old buildings need our protection. This work depicts the Great Wall at night. Plum blossom is a symbol of traditional Chinese culture. NOTE : The LINES was created by knife carving on oil material. This is artist's unique artistic style. Outer frame is for free for this artwork, with plexiglas in front of the screen. Yuan hua Jia works mainly in oil and acrylic paintings. His works were shown in many big exhibitions of many countries, some are collected by important people and collectors. Using knife to carve on the surface of paint is his most representative form of creation, and it is also the most significant sign and feature that distinguishes him from other artists. This form of painting is extremely difficult. First, the canvas is soft and elastic. So the hand needs to be very steady. Secondly, affected by temperature and humidity, the paint surface will dry within 24-72 hours. Therefore, the carving must be completed accurately within a limited time. Each line will determine the progress and detail of the entire painting. Once the paint starts to dry on the surface, you can't continue but throw it away and start over. The larger the picture size and the more complex the content that needs to be engraved, the greater the risk of failure and the more canvases will be thrown away. There was once a 100x80cm work that failed more than a dozen times and took a year and a half to finally be completed. In addition to this art form, he also creates works in other artistic styles. Each artistic style of work reflects his unique perspective and ideas. Each work has its own story, which is his insights into his careful observation and experience of life. Jia Yuan-Yua is a Chinese artist born in 1980 who lives and works in Beijing, China. Jia works mainly with oil and acrylic in his painting. His contemporary artworks focus on social issues such as the protection of historical buildings, the inheritance of traditional culture, the conflict between tradition and contemporary times, education reform and the sustainable development of the natural ecological environment. There are two main forms of expression in his works. One is a common realistic technique known for paintings. The other is to use an oil painting knife for carving on the surface of the oil onto the canvas but the artist also creates lines in his artworks to express the outline of objects either existed or vanished.
