Chinese Contemporary Ink Art by Wang Tiande

About the Item

Artist: Wang Tiande (Chinese b.1960) Title: "Digital Series No.4 C07", 2004 Medium: Chinese ink on paper and cigarette burns Signed and dated lower left Wang Tiande 2004. Original gallery label on verso Frame (wood shadow box under acylic): 52 3/4" x 25 3/4" Provenance: Purchased from Michael Goedhuis, October 23, 2006 An important figure in the Chinese contemporary art scene, in the field of modern calligraphic art particularly, Wang Tiande was born in Shanghai in 1960. After graduating from the Chinese Painting Department at the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts in 1988, Wang received a doctoral degree in the calligraphy department of the same school. Currently, Wang is a professor at Shanghai Fudan University. His work is held in the permanent collection of many important museums across the globe, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and the British Museum. Known for his revival and reinterpretation of Chinese calligraphy and painting by exploring new medium and methods such as transposing, overlaying and burning, Wang Tiande has rooted his work in tradition but developed a novel vocabulary by incorporating imaginary characters, symbols, and even foreign letters in his work. His work projects a profound outlook from the past to the present and the future. In his early career-defining Digital series, which includes this piece on offer, he overlapped two layers of calligraphy, with a traditional ink stroke work under a layer with the characters burnt out by cigarette and incense. The work is a meditation of existence and none-existence, permanency and transiency, space and time along the historical spectrum, lost and newly found. It provokes the viewers to contemplate the nature, identity and deeper meaning of Chinese language within the cultural tapestry.

Born in 1947 and graduated from Nanjing Art Institute in 1977, Wang, Mengqi is a professor of Shanghai University School of Fine Arts, doctoral tutor, visiting professor of Nanjing Art Institute, painter of Shanghai Chinese Painting Academy, member of Chinese Artists Association, executive director of Shanghai Artists Association , National first-class artist, researcher of China National Academy of Painting. He is regarded as the representative painter of "new literati painting" in the art world. In the 1970s, the art world was very grey and are works were of the same style. He found his own way in the villain's book, and created more than 30 comics and more than 30 Chinese paintings in 13 years. People nowadays cannot paint what they want, but they can learn the ancient’s spirit to indulge in the landscape and free their soul. This unrestricted style and spirit is very similar to people in Weijin Period. People should enjoy the four seasons, day and night, tasty tea and nice drink, fragrant flowers and fruitful fruits, which are all the best in the world. Where’s people’s happiness?They can be gentleman’s, farmers, children’s, and even worm’s. Who is as happy as I am? Oh, it’s the laughing Maitreyan.
