Wang Xing Jie
BORN: 1956
HOMETOWN: FUSHUN, LIAONING; CHINA
Professional artist Wang Xing Jie graduated from the fine art faculty of Fushun College in 1986. He is currently acting as an executive committee member of the Fushun Artists’ Association, as well as a member of the Liaoning Artists’ Association.
Most of his artwork depicts the graceful lives of cranes and the scenic four-season environment of Liaoning in northeastern China. Wang‘s realistic oil paintings tend to reflect the various stages of nature - that can range from scenes of tranquility, such as “Snow Tree”, to scenes portraying the unabashed energy of a raging sea, in “Sea Wave” and “Wave Rocks”. Having grown up in the Fushun province of China, he conveys his deep sense of appreciation of the seasons and nature’s many dispositions, through his works. The various feelings that emanate from each unique season is clearly portrayed, as we feel a sense of transition in works like “Autumn Melody” which shows a windy field of crops and emigrating crane birds, while we also get a sense of the artists affinity for the graceful beauty of snow, in works such as “First Snow” and “Winter Scene”.
Wang has won several awards and his works of art were being exhibited in numerous art exhibitions in various major cities across the nation. The exhibition committees of Beijing Art Expo, the Chinese Affair, China Culture & Arts Corporation, and the Liaoning Art Museum have chosen some of his paintings for collection and published into video compact discs, wall calendars, and art books. They have also been featured in newspapers, namely the Fine Art; Art Vision; The Chinese Culture, and Workers’ Daily, and the wall calendar Wang Xingjie’s Landscape Paintings. Certain pieces of his paintings were selected to be sold at auctions conducted by Christie Online, Han Rong Xuan etc. Among the collectors of Wang’s art are art lovers across many countries including Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore.
