Niu Ann
Niu Ann (b.1968) lives in Shanghai and San Francisco. She is a traditionalist as well a contemporary artist who followed her teacher, Xie Zhiliu. Calligraphic lines are the essential gesture in Niu’s works; in calligraphy, she embraces the spirit of freedom from her ancestors as well as western abstract expressionist masters such as Willem de Kooning. At the heart, Niu follows Chinese traditions of figurative paintings and landscapes, and transforms classical figures, landscapes, and Dunhuang mural paintings into a contemporary context. Niu inserts her mobile phone number and other mundane objects into her paintings to connect the flow of the past to the present. This exhibition will feature 7 series of Niu’s works: Soir de Lune, 2016; The Scholar Stones Series, 2016; Guanyin, 2016; Everywhere Series, 2016; Guanyin on the Scholar Stone, 2017; The Lantern Enlighten Series, 2017; and Line of Quality, 2017.
