Wang Jianwei Biography

Wang Jianwei is one of the most popular and richest Painter who was born on October 28, 1958 in Suining, People's Republic of China. Born in the village of Suining, Sichuan Province, China in 1958, Wang Jianwei was as a member of a traditional military family until 1966. His parents both were military and he spent his early years in military camps. They are also known as budui Dayuan.

In the course of two years reeducation Wang was recruited to join the People’s Liberation Army in 1977 in which he was employed as an engineer in the military and as an operation specialist within a barracks within Qinghe County, Hebei Province located just south of Beijing. Wang didn’t create any art during his time in the military.

In 1983, the military assigned Wang work as a store manager at the Chengdu Painting Institute, Chengdu Huayuan. During this time, he gained access to a variety of Western art styles from the Institute and the city, when he created a series of pen drawings and sketches of patrons at a local teahouse. These drawings then became the basis for the group painting series known as the Tea House series (1980–1990). During this time, Wang painted Dear Mother (1983), a work that renewed the academic realist style of the Sichuan Painting School, a style developed by students of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, Sichuan Meishu Xueyuan. The style focuses on the details of everyday life and yields works that are often melancholic and poetic in nature. Dear Mother won the Gold Award in its category at the Sixth National Fine Arts Exhibition at the National Art Gallery (now National Art Museum of China) in 1984, an exhibition that included works from young academic graduates and established artists in China. For Wang, the experience raised questions about the term “artist”.

In 1983, he met Zhu Guangyan, an army nurse just before he was discharged. Less than a year later, they got married. Wang and Zhu lived apart for nearly seven years due to the strict government policies on residency locations, known as the hukou household registration system. Zhu was registered in Beijing, while Wang was tied to his parents back in Chengdu, Sichuan Province.

After finishing the high school, Wang moved to rural China. In his spare time, Wang went into town to study painting privately with a stage designer who was employed by the regional Sichuan Opera company. Through banned books from the government, Wang acquainted himself with Russian writing as well as painting. In this period Wang also started learning how to paint realistically.

In 1992, Wang became interested in the “grey system,” also known as “grey relational analysis”. This system theory, introduced by the Chinese mathematician Deng Julong in 1982, provided a methodology that focused on the study of problems using partial or uncertain information. Wang created his first elaborate conceptual installation work, Document (1992), at his house. With Document, Wang aimed at activating what he termed the “grey zone,” or “in-between” space, signaling predictions in a combined artistic and scientific experimental process. A year later, Wang also created Incident¬–Process, State (1993), an installation including video, text, and sculpture at the Hong Kong Arts Centre, inspired by the grey system.
