Artist
Cao Jigang
(China, b.1955）
Cao Jigang, born in Beijing, China in 1955, graduated from the Oil Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1984. In 2000, he completed the Material Expression Research Program at the same academy. He has previously taught at the Basic Department of the Sculpture School at the Central Academy of Fine Arts and currently resides and creates art in Beijing. Cao Jigang's artistic journey has evolved through various phases, initially depicting the ruins of the Great Wall in oil paintings. Over the years, he has explored different mediums such as pencil and acrylic, ultimately delving into the Egg Tempera technique to create large-scale works like the seven-meter-long "Guangling Melody" and the series "Barren Cold." His works are characterized by a unique semi-transparency, a warm, porcelain-like texture reminiscent of jade, achieved through deliberate layering. Expressing the concept of "emptiness" through intentional application, Cao Jigang has recently transitioned towards a minimalist style, opening up a space for contemplation on the connection between heaven and humanity. He received the Silver Award at the 9th National Art Exhibition of China in 1999 and has participated in numerous exhibitions at institutions such as the China National Art Museum and internationally. His works are permanently collected by prestigious institutions like the China National Art Museum, Shanghai Art Museum, as well as by numerous collectors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
