Zhu Jinshi

Zhu Jinshi is a pioneer of Chinese abstract art and installation art. At present, he lives and works in Beijing. As an important Asian contemporary art practitioner who rose to prominence in the second half of the 20th century, Zhu Jinshi has experimented with a wide range of mediums and methods. Amidst the historic Eastern and Western cultural currents of the Cold War, he tirelessly promoted the Asian experience. In 1979, Zhu participated in the “Stars,” China’s first contemporary art movement, and in the 1980s, he explored abstract painting and “apartment exhibitions.” In 1986, he moved to Berlin Germany, and witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall. In the 1990s, he started his installation practice, and after the year 2000, he engaged with Chinese abstract neo-expressionist painting and large-scale installation.
