Zhou Jin Hua
Chinese, b. 1978
Born in Sichuan in 19 78, young Zhou Jinhua has had numerous
solo exhibitions globally at his early age. Graduated from the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts Academy of Fine Arts, Zhou Jinhua also teaches at the Art Department at Beihai Institute. Since 2002, Zhou began to paint miniature people, ideas first generated from his interest in photography, particularly, taking aerial images. Through his lens, these bird's eye views allow him to look at the world from a different perspective. He observes human beings as
a group or as an individual, their daily activities, living environments,
social status and life attitudes. They are equally interesting and inspiring. Further to this observation is something deeper, Zhou Jinhua intends to bring a more philosophical message from his paintings - social transformation and phenomenon. His paintings are very carefully thought-out and very often absurd and impressive. His colour palette is very rich, colourful yet sympathetic. Zhou Jinhua's paintings portray the style of post-modern realism,
his works are like looking at comic books, narrating the fascinating
dramas.
​
