Jia Tian Shi was born in 1970 ,
passed away of cancer at 2012, graduated from Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts with B.A. degree on oil painting. Jia Tian Shi is one of the best
painters of still life in our gallery. We have been representing him for
more than then years and their beautiful paintings still hang in both of our
galleries. We can’t believe this could happen to Jia. In our memory he was a
young, strong , boy, full of energy. We still remember the first time we
met him and he took us to a local antique flea market , looking for treasures.
When he found something interesting, his eyes sparkled with joy.
When it comes to his art, he
was a dedicated painter, a serious artist, in my words “He seems to
carve on canvas.” In his paintings, you even can see little scars or carvings
on the table, rust hanging on an old instrument, a single thread of
fabric underneath an object . . . , amazing details. We cannot imagine the
number of hours he stood in front of his easel , the dedication and effort he
put into his work!
Jia Tian Shi had an old soul,
even he was such young joyful man. We were always touched by the subtle
nostalgia in his work. He set his treasures at the center of his canvas, so
serious about them that he took everything else out of the picture. He wanted
our eyes to focus on the beauty he found in old things. Light shines in
his painting, not everywhere, but only on what he wanted us to see. He created
an atmosphere, let his viewers feel his warmth, the warmth to the past and time.
We are all moved by his work. Many of you became his followers, collectors. For
the beauty he reveals to us , for his talent, his hard work, for his creation,
we thank him and will remember him forever.
He left us at his peak of
career. He was nominated to be the chairman of the artists association in
his city, Fu Shun, before he died. He also won several awards at national art
exhibitions, and was a professor at the art school in Fu Shun. His works were
welcomed internationally, and his shows hung in many galleries , including our
own.
Last week, we brought out all
we have of his works, took pictures, searched the data on our computers, and
assembled as many images as possible. Some are still missing. In his memory, we
construct this page as a retrospective of his work.
We hope this show will lead us to remember him and his art, and also to help his wife and his son get through the most difficult time of their lives.
