Kunstverein Konstanz presents a solo-exhibition project of the Chinese artist Zhou Jin Hua. In his works Zhou Jin Hua (b. 1978), based in Beijing and the South-Western metropolis Chongqing, analyses diverse facades and changes of the Chinese society. Observations of -sometimes shocking, sometimes ironic- scenarios which are more or less hidden on the canvas are characteristic for his works.

Inspired by the traditional Chinese landscape painting, the artist ever depicts his observations by using the bird’s eye perspective. According to his experience only out of a certain spatial distance social circumstances and actions are understandable. The exhibition at the Kunstverein Konstanz comprises paintings, installations and video projections and is specially designed for the location.

The 31-year old male artist and his artworks have been featured in various art exhibitions e.g. National Art Museum of China in Beijing (CN), Kunstverein Mannheim (GER) and Centre Culturel de Rencontre (LUX). His works have been collected by private Western and Chinese art collections and he has been mentioned in publications such as Young Chinese Artists, Prestel 2008, and Kunstforum International.

Parallel to the exhibition a number of events (artist-talk, tours, etc.) will take place. Dates and details can be inquired via info@kunstverein-konstanz.de and office@theministryofart.com
