Zhou Jin Hua

Born in Deyang, Sichuan Province in 1978, Graduated from the Department of Oil Painting of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 2002. Held many solo exhibitions in art galleries or salons in Germany, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, etc.

He is an artist who is currently working and living in Beijing and Chongqing. He analyses diverse facades and changes of Chinese society. Observations of sometimes shocking, sometimes ironic scenarios which are more or less hidden on the canvas are characteristic for his works. Inspired by the traditional Chinese landscape painting, the artist ever depicts his observations by using the bird's eye perspective. According to his experience only out of a certain spatial distance social circumstances and actions are understandable. Zhou and his artworks have been featured in various art exhibitions e.g. National Art Museum of China in Beijing (CN), Kunstverein Konstanz (GER) and Centre Culturel de Rencontre Abbaye de Neumünster (LUX).
