Ding Fang

Ding Fang

Ding Fang (b. 1956, in Wugong, Shanxi Province) is a well-known Chinese painter.[1] He graduated from the Nanjing Fine Arts Academy in 1986, where he later taught for several years. After working both as a professional artist and on the editorial staff of Fine Arts in China Magazine, he moved in 2000 to the Institute of Fine Arts at Nanjing University, where he currently teaches. His work appeared in several prominent shows in China in the early 1980s. When political circumstances made it difficult for him to continue working as an independent artist, he began to exhibit in galleries in Sweden, Vienna, Los Angeles, London, Oxford, Sydney, and Rotterdam. In recent years his work has featured in many major Chinese exhibitions, including the Beijing Biennale in 2003 and The Wall: Reshaping Contemporary Chinese Art.[2] He was the subject of a retrospective at the National Art Museum of China in 2002. The Yuan Center gallery in Beijing included several of his paintings in their recent exhibition, After Culture.

Ding Fang is known primarily for his bold, richly colored landscape paintings, which attempt to represent China's mountains and plains as imbued with deep historical and cultural meaning. His depictions of urban life, by contrast, are dark and dystopian.
