Shen Jing Dong , Navy and Donald Duck, Pop Art
£940.00
The icon that Shen Jingdong’s “hero” series created, is an image of the soldiers without any personal identity. This image is hardly to tell who the specific soldier is. His facial features are vague, and in fact he is a man in common sense. The clothing and attitude in-which he stands, his identity and individuality are replaced by a common ideology.
The image of the soldier which was named hero is out of refinement. They are created into four kinds of people, which are the red, the yellow, the bald and the soldiers with hat. The yellow soldiers possess a hue of humanity, and the red soldiers stand for the solemn atmosphere of revolution. Their bodies are not only dressed in the uniform dress, but also have a fixed correct upright posture. This kind of image comes from his experience in the army. Almost every soldier with an “out of the box”personality will be uniformed in the end after joining the army.
The following painting depicts a marine soldier in his uniform, with a Donald Duck holding his hands on the soldier’s ear. The artist enjoys mixing serious subjects with humour. It is for him, a way for his message to go through more easily.

Artist Long Lin is born in 1991 in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, China. In 2014 she created a series of works with sunflowers. Her source of inspiration was a giant sunflower which she encountered whilst walking in the botanical garden of the local university. Artist Lin was initially scared by the encounter as she feared that it might swallow her whole in a split second.
“The sunflower is like me, I often doubt myself, but I won’t give up. Every time I reflect myself through my artwork, my painting is the record, it records the conversation I had with myself. I do not need to look in the mirror to see my expression, but when I look at my art, it expresses how I felt at that time”.

£300.00 – £400.00Availability: In stockOut of stock
Artist Yongsheng Xie was born in 1961 in Xu Zhou, Jiang Su province, China. Artist Xie’s career started thirty years ago when he was a Gongfu student. Whilst studying photographs of Tai Chi practitioners he became fascinated by their fluid movements. Since then his artwork has sought to capture those movements and he is committed to a journey of artistic exploration with no turning back.
Thirty years later, Artist Xie finally proves that he is the best the Tai Chi Master in the art world and the best Artist in the Tai Chi world. Perhaps only when you have seen Artist Xie’s Gongfu will you fully understand his artworks. Tai Chi is the source of his attitude to life and the inspiration for his art.
Artist Xie differs from contemporary Chinese Artists whose work is often a caustic appraisal of Chinese politics and history. Instead Artist Xie ‘s work projects balance and harmony and it frequently betrays his humorous spirit. He paints Buddha, terracotta soldiers, opera singers, political leaders, and small creatures imbued with inner peace. Look carefully and you will find that their eyes bare the imprint of a Tai Chi symbol.
