Biography
Ms. Mian Chai is an artist residing in Shenzhen, China. Everyday shes diligently creating exotic paintings. Blending traditional Chinese meticulous drawing method with modern western abstract outlet, those art works have brought people a stunning and refreshed sensation. Chais work has basically presented three subjects: Love between mother and children; Passion between lovers; Goddess of Mercy. The first subject is Mains earliest creation. The colors and the themes are similar to the Chinese folk lunar new year paintings; the expressions of those characters look like Dunhuang religious drawings; the lines of drawings seem from the Chinese meticulous drawing, but the structures are kind of western world's abstract ones. The tulips, the snail, and the spider actually are combined with the human images marvelously. Mixed the oriental and western elements, Chai found an absolutely unique style of painting. The other two subjects came later. Passion between lovers is one of the most popular and eternal theme in arts. Chais pictures are kind of simple on the composition to colors and shaping. You do not see much strong external passionate movement but feel deeply internal rhythm of longing with grace and innocence, just like Chais personality. Her drawings of Goddess of Mercy are tranquil. The drawing technique and the composition are more mature than other series. Chai believes Buddhism. The mercy heart always is revealed in her conversation and action. The kindness naturally appears in her drawings of Goddess of Mercy. The Mother-and-Child series obviously is affected by the Goddess of Mercy series. Although she made beautiful mother and children in bright color, the mothers expression always is graceful and charitable. We also can see the union of the tradition and modern from Mians painting inscription. Her inscription is the Chinese tradition -- seal, but she uses fountain pen to make the signature. She always wrote the thought in her experience rather than five syllable four, like most Chinese artists. These inscriptions and signatures look like very Chinese when you see them first. But if you examine them very carefully, they are pretty modernized. Moreover, Chai tried the different materials and the techniques in her drawing, such as the golden silver film to create sort of atmosphere of the Chinese folk lunar new year's painting and the religious picture. Different from the traditional scholar paintings, Chai Mains pictures are more close to Chinese folk art yet certainly changed a lot. Some people think that the traditional Chinese painting is declining in China, however we may still classify Chais pictures as "the ones a modern artist made traditional Chinese painting". They smell a lot of contemporary flavor but with clear ancient vision.
