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, as well as animals or elements from nature like trees or fruit. Even though he varies in his choice of motifs, all his works focus on the connection to nature and the purity and genuineness of the human soul. Therefore, Chen Jinqing often finds 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, China, lives and works in Beijing. He exhibited his first works in his early 20s, since then he has held regular solo and group exhibitions and is represented in numerous collections across Asia as well as in Europe and the USA.
