Featured Artist: Jian Wang

Jian Wang, a Sacramento-based artist who was born in China, paints traditional subjects while tempering realism with 20^th century abstraction. Most recently, Jian Wang was selected to exhibit a 20-Year Retrospective at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing during the 2008 Summer Olympics. Always drawn to art even in childhood, Jian Wang had the opportunity to come to the United States in 1986 to study painting under Sacramento-based artists such as Wayne Thiebaud, Fred Dalkey, Jack Ogden, Manuel Neri, Roland Petersen and David Hollowell. Jian Wang describes his own painting style as a dialogue between himself and his subject. Using lush, impasto-style brushstrokes in vibrant colors, Jian Wang’s prolific abilities allow for a broad repertoire of subjects including landscapes, nudes, portraiture, and still-life. Jian Wang has exhibited his paintings all over the world, ranging from gallery shows in New York and London and museum exhibitions in China. His works are featured in more than 300 public and private collections worldwide.
