View Paintings and Exhibitions of Shi Xinning - Chinese Artist
Shi Xinning was born on 1969 in Liaoning Province, China. Trained in China, Shi Xinning’s paintings are influenced by both social realism and European styles. Using the authoritative qualities of both, Shi embarks on history painting with a twist. Taking his imagery from iconic press photos, Shi’s canvases faithfully represent the world as we know it, the Yalta Conference in familiar 40s sepia tone, the Queen Mum in carriage emblazoned in newspaper black and white. It’s only on second glance that Shi’s alterations become evident. Nestled between Churchill and FDR and conversing happily with royalty, Mao takes his place amongst the great leaders of the 20th century.
In China-fying history, Shi investigates dynamics of both the west’s Eurocentric, and China’s isolationist past world views. Humorously illustrating the Chairman’s import and omnipresence in 20th c Chinese society Shi’s insertion of Mao into the fabric of western collective conscience seems entirely plausible. Infusing the totems of propaganda currency with a sense of normality and humility, Shi re-authors the most cherished moments of collective memory with a ‘Forrest Gump’ effect, creating a specious mythology based in Hollywood schmaltz and unabashed optimism.
Conclusions:
Shi Xinning had already established his own style and the impact of the work had won him a strong reputation in Chinese art circles.

About Anne Chu's Paintings and Solo Exhibitions
Anne Chu was born on 1959 Lives and works New York, NY. Anne Chu's work is impressed by a wide range of historical and cross-cultural influences. Her figurative sculptures possess otherworldliness, transporting sense of time and place to create imaginary scenarios of suggested fantasy. Presented as a life-sized marionette, The Court Lady is a confrontation with the exotic and the theatrical. Her face a marred antique, her robe pristine and ageless, The Court Lady stands regal, drawing the viewer into a hypothetical realm that's both archaic and serenely futuristic.
Drawing her inspiration from ancient sculptures, such as funerary carvings from the Tang Dynasty, or the medieval friezes at Charters, Anne Chu's version of history is something more akin to fairytale. Primitively carved from wood, Chu's invented relics capture a rich, timeless aesthetic, which makes their authenticity all the more believable. Tombstone For a King is a rough-hewn tableau depicting a 'long forgotten' tragedy. Her clunky figures are careful study of craftsmanship, displaying a casual presence rarely found in ancient depictions, her washy pigmentation is convincing as battered remains. But it's her dreamy colors, grays, pinks, and yellows, which give rise to girly romance: her 'ancient dynasties' always seem strangely contemporary, bringing mystery and romance to life.
