Sin Sin Fine Art is delighted to announce a new solo exhibition of paintings by Chinese contemporary master Sun Guangyi. In his latest series of works, Sun creates delicate ink–and-colour paintings illuminated with gold, evocative of Buddhist paintings of ancient sites such as Dunhuang. Yet Sun infuses his portraits with imagined, almost surrealistic inner landscapes of visions and symbols that convey the artist’s deep belief in the sacred connectedness of all things. Sun himself states that ‘As an artist and as a practitioner of the dharma, my goal is to use my artwork as a vehicle to express the deep truth and awakening that I have found, and to share with my friends my deep sense of existential joy.’

Sun Guangyi was born in 1967 in Liaoning province, China. He studied Chinese ink painting and calligraphy at the Shenzhen Academy of Fine Arts and graduated from the Liaoning University of Arts and Culture in 1992. A devoted Buddhist, Sun currently lives in Dali, Yunnan province. His works have been exhibited and collected throughout China and internationally.
