 Shen Jian Wei (沈建伟) Bio Born in 1965, in Guangzhou, Shen attended the High school of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Art. He eventually graduated from Guangzhou Academy of Fine Art, in 1988, with a degree in oil painting. After graduation, Shen got a job in in design in advertising, which was a relatively new field, in China, at the time. Eventually, he opened his own interior design company because he wanted to be involved in total home decoration, not just producing painting to add to that. He tells us that the reason that he finally came back to painting was that he grew weary of trying to show Chinese clients how to show taste in home decoration, only to have them want to do it in their own tasteless styles. Thus, he eventually came back to painting full time, only in the middle of the last decade. Jian has specialized in painting gold fish, among other scenes from nature, and still life. Gold fish are a very prominent part of life, in the East, on the one hand. On the other hand, goldfish in water, create a subject matter than requires technical skill, in the interplay of light, objects, colors, bubbles, and water, and Jian's works can appear anywhere in the spectrum of tight realism to more on the abstract side. As it turns out, in the hands of Jian, Gold fish, as a topic for paintings, can provide quite a bit of breadth and variety. And after all, is not creativity but variations on a theme. He tells us that he paints them because they are considered lucky, but we know that what really attracts him is the complex problem of dealing with light, its reflection and refraction, bubbles and ripples, in painting pictures of fish in water.
