Artists and their artworks

Artist 1

Mingli Jiang

American artist of Ch. origin

"I, a beggar who has no worries about livelihood, kneel beside the bustling street, hold it high above my head with both hands, and show my proud begging bowl to the passing crowd. It condenses my dream and is exquisitely carved, inlaid with Oriental emeralds and Western diamonds in the rotten colours. I just want to keep people's steps for life, stop and have a look, leaving an indelible cloud in my heart."

Creative idea:
Pay attention to the beauty of color, stroke and composition. The color arrangement is mainly similar colors, dotted with small pieces of red, yellow, green and pink, and a certain area of black. Painting is mainly based on large strokes. When you are interested, you can finish it at one go and pay attention to the beauty of strokes. The composition is the accumulation of many years of creation and the control of inspiration.

An Wei

I like architecture. Those simple points, lines and surfaces constitute the infinite possibility of space light and shadow. The wonderful and interesting connection and changes between architecture and human behaviour attract me to constantly explore and pursue.
I also like to use painting to recall and express. The free composition and strong and unrestrained color in my creation are the burst of my inner perception. Outside the picture is the real world I enjoy; In the picture, it is my spiritual home.
