Born in 1958 in Sichuan province, Wang Jianwei lives and works in Beijing. A talented oil<br />
painter – he studied at the China National Academy of Fine Arts in Hangzhou City – he won<br />
China’s National Gold Prize. Feeling constrained by the two-dimensional expressiveness of the<br />

production, Ping Feng, was created at the KunstenFESTIVALdesArts in 2000, and in 2002 he<br />
opened the seventh festival with an artistic intervention.<br />
