NEW. We are happy to introduce to you our new artist SHAN GANG.

Graduated from the Oil Painting Department of the Academy of Fine Arts of Anhui Normal University in 1984, Shan Gang worked at the Hefei Art Museum in the same year
He moved to Amsterdam,  the Netherlands in 1988 as a professional Dutch painter and now lives in Shanghai and Hefei.

Shan Gang creates paintings equally inspired by traditional Chinese ink painting and European and American modernism. His outlined figures, whose features are often rendered in a two-dimensional manner, have their roots in ink painting, while his dense application of colorful brushwork suggests Western abstraction. Immersed in the Chinese painting tradition before going to live and study in Holland, Shan favors subject matter that is sociopolitical in tone—from a woman in a Maoist-style cap and tunic to a silenced family wearing eg  smog masks. 

His art can be described as naive abstract and figurative. His paintings are direct and spontaneous, full of warm colour and phantasy. His brush stokes are firm and thick and very often is his pallet of colours,  one of many bright and unmixed colours. 

Shan Gang had numerous exhibitions all around the world and got international recognition with his art.  Exhibitions(not complete):
