Winter Travels - Zhang Jian Ping

A winter scene evokes many pleasant memories. Of the falling snow, frozen lakes and beautiful expanse of bright whiteness all around. Here, a group of people are headed somewhere but the artist has taken the destination out of view. He leaves it to us to interpret the possible destination. Many of the passengers look animated, whereas the driver has a serious countenance. Perhaps, he is worried about the journey ahead?

#Artist Zhang Jian Ping (b. 1955) in Chang Chun City, he was sent to serve in the villages in an educated youth team in 1974; Jiang Ping had taken time to create his #art pieces in his free hours during the mission. Zhang had successfully admitted into the Faculty of Fine Art in the North-Eastern Educational #University in 1977 and graduated in the year 1980.

Zhang had been working as the chief editor cum photographic #reporter for the Art #Magazines published by the police department of Chang Chun and #Jilin before taking up his present post of a senior lecturer in the Chang Bai Shan Art #Academy and the Advertising Officer of Jilin Highway Company.

Zhang experienced the #Cultural Revolution when he was a teenager. The ten years of unrest, unsettled situation and tremendous hardship had cultivated the artists’ strong determination to forge on and make it through. His works were selected to exhibit many times in various art exhibitions, some of them being collected by art #galleries as well as private individuals.
