SEPTEMBER EVENTS

TAO WATER GALLERY

thru SEPTEMBER 15

Ming Jing - The Poetic Rhythm thru Sept 15, 2012

Tao Water Gallery 352 Commercial Street

This is our first time showing his work in Ptown. Ming Jing is one of the best painters in China; he had his solo exhibition in China's National Art Museum a few years ago. Now he is the Chairman of the Art Department and a professor at HeBei University. We are so proud to have his firt solo show in Ptown.

Min Jing (b.1959), graduated from Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts with a B.A. in 1983. Now he lives and teaches in China, his paintings have both the charm of ink painting and oils. He creates rhythms through tension and looseness with sensitive fine lines while brushing bold and textured strokes with strong gestures. He manipulates bright and dark, black and white, thickness and thinness, emptiness and fullness in a masterly way that looks effortles. One can sense his drifting lightness and also romantic and poetic or even humorous natures in his art, and wonder how he retains his purity and detachment in the contemporary world.
