Thanks for posting those. One of new favorites, God their beautiful! Iv searched online and can find almost nothing? Hope to see allot more. Sorry guys... hate to start something and not finish it. But, Basel drained the crap out of me. I'll make up for it now. Zhi Jie is a contemporary Chinese artist that specializes in drawing these "girls" in adult poses. He uses the Big dreamy/shiny eyes to symbolize the innocence of these young girls and focuses on them "mimicking" adult poses/situations. He has actually an earlier series of works that has his girls with smaller (slightly duller) grey eyes... symbolizing an older more jaded girl. Still very cute but not as baby sweet as these girls. At first I thought his works were airbrushed to get that dreamy misty feel, but his gallery told me that he hand paints everything from start to finish. His works at Basel were immense. 6ft x 5ft. (10K... which isn't bad considering the size). I would have picked up the smoking one, but I don't my future kids to think that it was ok. I may pick one up from the gallery, but I'm trying to work out a deal, cause I have another friend who may want one too. Hopefully I can leverage a bit of love from China. Glad you guys like the first pictures of the smoking yellow. I actually took three more below...    |
