Jin Sha was born in 1968 and graduated from the Chinese Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA), B.A. in 1992. Jin Sha boldly reimagines art history by blending traditional Gongbi techniques with a contemporary twist. This innovative fusion of Eastern and Western art challenges our notions of identity, power and temptation. With a unique approach, he initiates engaging conversation between tradition and innovation by skilfully delving into canonical Western art through Gongbi, the known meets the unknown in a thought-provoking blend. He is currently vice president of the Beijing Art Institute of Chinese Fine line Painting; Executive Director of China Hue Art Society; Researcher of Fine Line work Academy of Chinese National Academy of Arts; Supervisor of master student in School of Art, Anhui University.
