Art & Artist
Chen jian long
“Art and Design envelopes us, creating an impact in our daily routine. I have a strong desire to create the best Art and Designs that will hopefully revolutionize the way people perceive their surroundings; my intentions are to unlock the eyes and provoke thoughts. I am often spellbound with the world around me and that is where I find my inspiration.”

Xu jian guo
Jian Guo Xu is an artist for our times. Straddling the artistic traditions of both Eastern abstract brushwork and Western color sensibility, Xu has melded both techniques to create works that push the boundaries of contemporary art. Xu's unique medium, the integration of rice paper with sumi ink and watercolor with canvas, acrylics and oil testify to his cross-cultural heritage. Xu is recognized for groundbreaking reinvention of Song dynasty landscape painting with contemporary urban landscape. This style, neo mountains and rivers- is exemplified by two ten-meter long sumi-brush on silk handscrolls that have been featured in major solo exhibitions globally.
Xu’s works have been featured in major solo exhibitions globally and in the US. His work is currently in the collection of Boston Museum of Fine Arts as well as private collections. His retrospective- Beyond Contemporary was exhibited in the National Museum of China, Beijing Capital Museum, Guangdong Provincial Museum, and Shanghai Museum of Art as part of U.S. Embassy and Consulate-sponsored exhibitions. Ambassador Gary Locke and other Consul Generals have opened his exhibitions as a major part of US-China cultural exchanges. Xu has given keynote lectures at Central Academy of Art, Shanghai Theater Academy among others, as part of that effort. Xu's works have been featured in both Christie's and Sotheby's Important Contemporary Chinese Art Sales, as well as solo exhibitions at Sotheby’s Hong Kong and Art Basel.
Xu, now a US citizen, lives and works from New York City.

My paintings depict something of my subconsciousness or repressed unconsciousness.
It is something that comes from the level of emotion rather than cognition, and that cannot be further elucidated despite giving it much attention….. that is anxiety, embarrassment, coincidence, anticipation, enthusiasm, ignorance, etc. which feel like the other.
This inconsistency is happening in my works and in each outside the works, explosively and with no coordination process。

All surrounding in our life appeal to us their own feature. My major work is concerned to my own ‘self-regulation’ in the progress of my art.
I expect that the object, materials, and each formal elements are complementarily cooperated each other. My life and own artwork are filled with my own words.
This coexistence is the mission for my continuous challenge.
