This publication is produced in occasion of the solo exhibition of Chinese artist Duan Jianwei at Hive Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing, from July to August 2014.
Duan's works mainly are portraits of young people and peasants. For some of his works, clues of rural lives are obvious, for instance the portrayed holding agricultural utensils. For some the background is even abstracted into a plate of a colour, giving a sense of simplicity over the canvas. The painter puts more stress on the process of the act of painting per se, over the contemporaneity of the subject matter depicted.
Includes a conversation with the artist, and his biography.
