Jiu ChenChinese contemporary ink brush painting - "Hua Dan" Side
About the Item
The Chinese opera is a quintessentially Chinese cultural performance art, and began around 1790, when theater companies from all over China arrived in Beijing, to perform for the Qing Emperor Qianlong's birthday. The Chinese opera is still performed in Taiwan, China, Singapore today. There are generally four main categories of roles: sheng (the male roles), dan (the female roles). A "Hua Dan" represents a more feisty, flirtatious young woman. The actor wears distinctive elaborate costumes and conveys the story, and their emotions through voice, movement, and gestures.
"Farewell My Concubine" is a famous opera played by a male "Hua Dan". Front facing "Dan" and back facing "Dan"
Sold separately or as a pair.
Chen Jiu (b. 1957) Chen Jiu produced a body of work on the Chinese Opera: "Spring at Jade Pavilion", "The Tipsy Consort Guifei", "the Hegemon's Farewell to His Concubine", "Changing Face", amongst others. His works demonstrate a literati flair and expressionism, striving to capture sadness or joy at the corner of a character's eye, along an eyebrow or in expressive hand /finger gestures. (one can see the rough fingers as suggestive of a male in costume. An artist, Chen Jiu is also the director of Zhu Qizhan Art Museum and Shanghai Duolun Contemporary Museum.

- 30x22 in. Re- Enter - Ink, Acrylic, Graphite on paper, unframedBy Alexis PortillaLocated in Los Angeles, CAThis is a beautiful piece by Alexis Portilla, unframed. Re-Enter 30x22 in. Ink, Acrylic, Graphite on paper Unframed Framing available The artist Alexis Portilla obtained his Masters of Fine Arts at Columbia University in 1990. His bold linear lines, use of symbols, pictographs and strong colors create atmospheric abstracts. “Using simple forms and creating swathes of rich texture, Alexis Portilla builds atmospheric abstract paintings that convey a sense of time having passed. Brushy areas of color suggest the indeterminacy of memory, while bold linear forms speak for the present.” - Meredith Mendelsohn, Art News magazine review. Influenced by the emotion of artistic expression in music, poetry and literature, the artist finds bold expression in color, lines and shapes that resemble pictographs, and texture. The artist has shown in group and solo exhibitions nationally for more than 20 years. His works have been commissioned by major corporations, universities and for private collections.
