    • ZENG XIAOJUN (BORN 1954) - Dense Trees

      ZENG XIAOJUN (BORN 1954) - Dense Trees

      Est: $10,000 - $20,000

      ZENG XIAOJUN (BORN 1954) Dense Trees Hanging scroll, ink and color on paper 52 x 251⁄4 in. (132.1 x 64.3 cm.) Signed, with one seal of the artist Born in Beijing in 1954, Zeng Xiaojun graduated from the Central Academy of Arts and Design in Beijing, specialising in mural painting. He moved to the United States in 1983 and lived in Boston for over a decade. In 1997 the artist moved back to Beijing, his hometown. Zeng is an avid collector of Chinese antiques as well as a painter. His fascination with scholar’s rocks, scholar’s objects, trees, and Chinese antique furniture brings inspiration to his art; this affiliation is evident in his early landscape paintings and his more recent portraits of trees. His pursuit in ink paintings returns to the ancient literary and artistic practice that he longs for. For the artist, dormant and bare tree branches manifest the most elemental vigour of life – the ability to regenerate. Wilting trees and flowers are merely waiting for a new beginning, denoting part of a life cycle that takes place every year. Zeng paints with this spirit in mind and depicts all the intricate lines and structures that he can see and touch. He gives life and a mystical presence to his subject-matters whilst directing viewer’s attention to every detail he painstakingly outlines from prolonged observation and sketching. Please note this lot is the property of a private individual. Provenance Obtained directly from the artist. Acquired from L.J. Wender, New York in 1993.

      Est: €60,000 - €90,000

      Connected Trees from Forbidden City No. 1 Ink on paper, framed Zeng Xiaojun (b. 1954) Contemporary Chinese literati painter Signed in Chinese and marked with one seal of the artist Exhibition: United Kingdom, London, Michael Goedhuis Gallery, Zeng Xiaojun, 7 May-6 June, 2009, p. 12; United Kingdom, London, Saatchi Gallery, Ink: The Art of China, 19 June - 5 July, 2012, p.113 Literature: Xinyuan Moji Zeng Xiaojun, People's Fine Arts Publishing, Beijing, China, 2005, p. 213; Kuo, Jason C., Chinese Ink Painting Now, Distributed Art Publishers, New York, USA; Timezone 8, Hong Kong, China, 2010, p. 113 217 x 131.3 cm (85 1/2 x 51 3/4 in) Provenance: The Origo Collection Born in Beijing in 1954, Zeng Xiaojun graduated from the Central Art and Craft Academy of Fine Arts in 1981. Two years later, he moved to the United States and lived for the next fourteen years in Boston, where he exhibited and taught until 1997. Ironically, his growth as a scholar in the Chinese sense took place in America, where his deep connoisseurship in classical Chinese furniture and objects of the traditional scholar’s studio developed. Drawing inspiration from the literati landscape painting tradition, especially works by Shen Zhou (1427 – 1509) and Wen Zhenming (1470 – 1559) of the Ming period, Zeng extracts rocks and trees from the context of landscaper and scrupulously depicts them as isolated objects. Employing a delicate balance between dry and wet, lines and dots, his meticulously executed paintings – whether of single or intertwined old trees in Beijing of Nara, Japan, or of scholar’s fantastically shaped rocks, or brush-holders fashioned from tree roots – remind us of the Chinese intellectuals’ fascination with these subjects as embodiments of their own spiritual perseverance in times of difficulty and turbulence. Together with Liu Dan’s, Zeng Xiaojun’s ink paintings are a powerful example of how the high culture of traditional China can be reinvigorated for contemporary society. Numerous works by the artist have been sold at auction, including 'Vines Planted' sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong in 2014 for $314,551. There have been many articles written about Zeng Xiaojun, including 'Art Review; Asia Week Is Here, There, Everywhere' written by Holland Cotter for New York Times in 2005. Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.
