in light art, Chul-Hyun Ahn was born in Pusan, Korea. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Chu Gye University for the Arts in Seoul, Korea. In 1997 he moved to the United States and received a Masters of Fine Arts from the Mount Royal School at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland in 2002. Chul-Hyun Ahn is an artist of international acclaim with works in numerous significant public and private collections including the Harn Museum of Art, Palm Springs Art Museum, Borusan Foundation, Hearst Foundation, and Martin Z. Margulies collection. chul hyun-ahn Untitled (Double) II, 2009 Plywood, lights, mirrors 45.5˝ × 45˝ × 5.5˝ Jiro osuga Flowers Gallery New York, New York li chen Michael Goedhuis Contemporary Gallery London, England Li Chen is one of the most exciting and accomplished of the new generation of sculptors in Asia. His life and work are guided by his deep commitment to Buddhism. His powerfully modeled bronze figures contain references to classical Chinese sculpture but use contemporary concepts of modeling to express the realities of the modern world. His works have won numerous awards, and the beauty and spiritual depth of his sculptures have found favor with individual and institutional collectors as well as with Buddhist practitioners. Indebted to Buddhist imagery of the Tang and Song dynasties, Li’s works use the past as a springboard for developing his own highly individual expression, which relies on minimizing detail and ornamentation for simplicity of form. His work was recently featured in a solo exhibition held in conjunction with the 52nd Venice Biennale. hung liu Nancy Hoffman Gallery New York, New York Born in Changchun, China, Hung Liu grew up in Beijing during the time of Mao Zedong. As a young adult, she worked with peasant farmers in the countryside, growing rice, wheat and corn. During this time, she photographed local farmers with their families and made drawings of them. She has always delved into social, political and historical aspects of China’s past regimes as “subject” for her works, using old photographs as source material. The artist has never shied away from the social, political or philosophical implications of China’s past regimes. With her bi-cultural experience, she is in a position to re-present and re-examine Chinese culture, past and present, while combining images from her own life. In her new multi-layer resin and paint pieces, which the artist calls “Za Zhongs,” Chinese for bastard paintings, Liu conveys the courage and strength of women, a theme that echoes throughout her work. Hung Liu invented this new approach to making works approximately seven years ago, creating a revolutionary visual language. hung liu Wen Xui, Imperial Consort, 2009 jacquard tapestry ed. 1 of 6 87" × 72" a r t b a s el m i a m i b e ac h & a r t w eek 2 0 1 0 m a n da r i n O r i en ta l , m i a m i a r t cO n c i erg e (3 0 5) 9 1 3 8 2 6 8 Qin Feng Untitled, 2009 silkscreen in 15 colors 62˝ × 38˝ edition of 60 qin feng Pace Prints New York, NY Born in 1961 in xinjiang, China, Feng lives and works in Beijing, China and Boston, MA. Qin Feng’s expressive compositions serve as meditations on time and motion. His bold brushstrokes lyrically combine the gestural impulses of action painting with the tradition of Chinese calligraphy painting and the artist often playfully pairs the traditional medium of ink with alternative materials such as coffee, tea and oil paint. Qin’s interest in balancing the dynamic between positive and negative space within his compositions mirrors his interest in exploring the delicate harmony between humans and nature. yue MinJun Pan American Projects Miami, Florida Yue Minjun was born in 1962 in the town of Daqing in the province of Hei Long Jiang, China. He was a college instructor before moving to Beijing in 1991 to devote himself to painting. His signature male figure (a parodic self-portrait) has a
large pink head with closed eyes, cropped hair, and an open mouth with twice as many teeth as normal. The eyes on the figure are closed to keep out the ugliness and violence of the world around him; the laughter of his figures (whether singly or in groups) is a satire of standardization and mass production, a refusal to take things too seriously, a repudiation of the Cultural Revolution’s sameness and seriousness, a gleeful enjoyment of new liberties. The artist’s work is illustrated on the cover of the book “New China New Art”. yue minjun Hat No. 2, 2004 Oil on canvas 32.5" × 32" nashun nashunBatu Schuebbe Projects Dusseldorf, Germany Nashun Nashunbatu was born 1969 in Ordos, China and has been living in Frankfurt since 2006. He attended the Hochschule der Bildenen K¸nste in Braunschweig with Prof. John M. Armleder. The contemplative stance that all but forces itself on the observer is evoked to begin with by the sheer extent of his expressive color landscapes, which appear to extend beyond the bounds of their large-format canvases. Massive ranges of mountains, endless sand flats and bottemless chasms, gaunt free formations, shoreless expanses of water and ice seem to spread out endlessly and timelessly. By superimposing form and content, inverting the classical pictorial genre toward a thoroughgoing subjectification, and charging the whole metaphorically, Nashunbatu endows his pictures with a universal effective potency, so that while they are bound by time they simultaneously outlast it. Nashunbatu’s work has recently been exhibited in two solo shows at the Ordos Art Museum in China and at IMNU&IMU in Hohhot, China. wanxin Zhang-Xin Fatherhood, 2005 Fired clay, pigment, glaze 82˝ × 24˝ × 19˝ wang zhang-xin Bernice Steinbaum Gallery Miami, Florida Kwang-sung parK Juan Ruiz Gallery Maracaibo, Venezuela Kwang Sung Park was born in 1962 in the province of Seoul, Korea. In 1987 entered at Sewon University (Chungju) and granted a bachelor’s degree of fine arts education, later he moved to Paris and he was granted a master’s degree at the Paris VIII University, at this time his work have a radical tendency, selected subjects, mainly heads, landscapes and nude fragments painted in restricted colors—black and white with various shades of grey. The paintings give you a sense of calm, have a meditative character and are intimate evidences of great spiritual character from the artist. a r t b a s el m i a m i b e ac h & a r t w eek 2 0 1 0 m a n da r i n O r i en ta l , m i a m i a r t cO n c i erg e (3 0 5) 9 1 3 8 2 6 8 kwang-sung Park To have and to be, 2003 162cm × 130cm Kwan lau Westwood Gallery New York, NY Feng Shui Master and artist Kwan Lau uses natural pigment in a tedious process lasting up to 16 hours a day, with thousands of brushstrokes layered heavily on canvas. The artist incorporates a meditative consciousness to create the sacred mandala, a Sanskrit word meaning ‘circle’. According to David Fontana, its symbolic nature can help one “to access progressively deeper levels of the unconscious, ultimately assisting the meditator to experience a mystical sense of oneness with the ultimate unity from which the cosmos in all its manifold forms arises. Kwan Lau primarily exhibited in galleries during the 1960’s-90’s. He befriended Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Basquiat and many other NYC artists. The Brooklyn Museum requested Kwan Lau’s expertise in Feng Shui to review the entrance when planning the renovation of the extended lobby. His work has been exhibited in galleries in New York and Asia. kwan lau
