Bai Ming
Biography
Bai Ming
(born in 1965, Yugan, China)
Born in 1965, a hundred kilometres away from the old imperial porcelain manufacture of Jingdezhen and having studied at the Fine Arts School in Beijing, Bai Ming is today a well-recognised artist whose artistic and academic activities contribute to renewal and acceleration of the contemporary Chinese art of ceramics. He mixes technical traditions and ancestral typologies with the most modern plastic expressive forms. In the pictorial field, he uses oil paints, as well as ink, both in an eclectic way alternating geometrical compositions and gestural practices. Thanks to his great technical skillfulness and his perfect knowledge of the arts of fire, he excels in the painting of enamels.
The assertive abstraction, the audacious and dynamic framing as well as the dialectic link that the artist maintains with the Ancient Chinese painting enable him to create a strong individual expression that shows with what vigour the Chinese tradition is ceaselessly being renewed. His work is awarded with the greatest Chinese prizes and bought by worldwide collectors. Being the link between the ancient and the modern, East and West, and being considered as a great master in his field, he does a lot of conferences, in Asia, in Europe and in North America.
