About Chen Jinqing
The Chinese sculptor Chen Jinqing creates an atmosphere full of emotion and spirituality in his works. His figurative, finely crafted bronze sculptures are characterised by a very poetic formal language and a great symbolic and philosophical sense.
Chen Jinqing crafts figurative motifs such as people, but also animals or elements from nature such as trees or fruit. Even though he varies in his choice of motifs, the connection to nature and the purity and genuineness of the human soul are the focuses of all his works. Therefore, Chen Jinqing often finds his inspiration in childhood. He tries to recall childlike cheerfulness, light-heartedness and fantasy, which are fading while becoming adults.
Chen Jinqing, born in 1982 in Quanzhou, lives and works in Beijing. He exhibited his first works in his early 20s, since then he has had regular solo and group exhibitions and is represented in numerous collections in Asia as well as in Europe and the USA.
Term for an art object (sculpture, installation), which is produced in multiple copies in a limited and numbered edition according to the artist‘s will.
Artist's multiples have been called the most accessible and affordable art on the market.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures from wood, ivory or stone are made directly from the block of material, in bronze casting a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
