ZENG JIANYONG
Est: CHF7,000 - CHF10,000
ZENG JIANYONG (Chenghai 1971 – lives and works in Beijing and Shenzhen) The Header No. 54. 2007. Ink and watercolour on handmade paper on wood. Signed and dated in Chinese lower right: Zeng Jianyong 2007. 72 × 144 cm. With the confirmation of authenticity by Heather James Fine Art, New York, 26. September 2017. Provenance: - Heather James Fine Art, New York (verso with the label). - Private collection. Born in Chenghai in 1971, Zeng Jianyong is a famous contemporary Chinese artist working in ink. In 1994, he graduated from Huaqiao University with a major in Chinese painting and went on to study printmaking at the Central College of Fine Arts in Beijing. His brilliant works in ink have attracted keen interest from renowned galleries in China and The United States, as well as on the international auction market. Zeng Jianyong’s unique style is the result of a variety of schools and influences - a sophisticated fusion of Eastern and Western art movements - from traditional Chinese painting, oil painting and printmaking, to contemporary colour painting, creative experiences with picture books, multimedia, and three-dimensional animation amongst other things, as well as his intuitive perception. As his son grew up, Zeng Jianyong’s childhood memories were awakened, and he addressed them in his iconic work "The Header". In the present work, the artist skilfully and subtly captures the precious fragility of life in an innocent, fearful, and sorrowful-looking boy, who, with his disproportionately large head and silver-grey, watery and searching eyes, elicits concern and helplessness in the viewer. The title "Header" is given to the highest-achieving children in schools in China. They are often put under great pressure by their parents to win this award. Although a "Header" enjoys a certain amount of prestige, this does not guarantee happiness. A "Header" may be envied, but is often met with rejection, ridicule and bullying from his classmates. Zeng Jianyong brilliantly presents the tensions and discomfort of his protagonist’s inner world with bloodshot stains and tears suggesting physical abuse. "I appreciate the weaknesses of human nature such as irrationality and fragility." Zeng Jianyong --------------- ZENG JIANYONG (Chenghai 1971 – lebt und arbeitet in Beijing und Shenzhen) The Header No. 54. 2007. Tinte und Aquarell auf handgeschöpftem Papier auf Holz. Unten rechts in Chinesisch signiert und datiert: Zeng Jianyong 2007. 72 × 144 cm. Mit der Bestätigung der Authentizität durch Heather James Fine Art, New York, 26. September 2017. Provenienz: - Heather James Fine Art, New York (verso mit dem Etikett). - Privatsammlung. Der 1971 in Chenghai geborene Zeng Jianyong ist ein berühmter zeitgenössischer chinesischer Künstler. 1994 schliesst er sein Studium mit Schwerpunkt chinesische Malerei an der Huaqiao Universität ab und studiert anschliessend Druckgrafik an der Zentralen Hochschule für Bildende Kunst in Peking. Seine brillanten Tintenarbeiten stossen bei namhaften Galerien in China und Amerika sowie auf dem internationalen Auktionsmarkt auf reges Interesse. Zeng Jianyongs’ einzigartiger Stil ist das Ergebnis einer Vielzahl von Schulen und Einflüssen - einer raffinierten Verschmelzung aus östlichen und westlichen Kunstrichtungen - von traditioneller chinesischer Malerei, Ölmalerei und Druckgrafik bis hin zu zeitgenössischer Farbmalerei, den kreativen Erfahrungen mit Bilderbüchern, Multimedia, dreidimensionalen Animationen u.a. sowie seiner intuitiven Wahrnehmung. Mit dem Heranwachsen seines Sohnes erwachen Zeng Jianyongs’ Kindheitserinnerungen, die er in seinem legendären Werk „The Header“ thematisiert. Meisterhaft und auf subtile Weise fängt der Künstler in der vorliegenden Arbeit die kostbare Zerbrechlichkeit des Lebens von einem unschuldig, angstvoll und betrübt aussehenden Jungen ein, der mit seinem unverhältnismässig grossen Kopf, silbergrauen, wässrigen und nach vorne blickenden Augen beim Betrachter Sorge und Hilflosigkeit auslöst. Der Titel „Header“ wird in den Schulen in China den leistungsstärksten Kindern verliehen. Diese werden oft von ihren Eltern unter grossen Druck gesetzt, um diese Auszeichnung zu gewinnen. Obwohl ein „Header“ ein gewisses Mass an Prestige geniesst, hat er keine Garantie für Glückseligkeit. Ein „Header“ wird zwar beneidet, stösst aber bei seinen Klassenkameraden oft auf Ablehnung, wird verspottet und schikaniert. Zeng Jianyong präsentiert die Spannungen und das Unbehagen der Innenwelt seiner Protagonisten bravourös mit blutunterlaufenen Flecken und Rissen, die auf körperliche Misshandlungen hindeuten. „Ich schätze die Schwächen der menschlichen Natur wie Irrationalität und Fragilität.“ Zeng Jianyong
