“Painting by 朱金石 Zhu Jinshi: Great White Shark No. 1, 2012 (oil on canvas)” / Blum & Poe / Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 / SML.20130523.6D.13919
Chinese artist 朱金石 Zhu Jinshi’s abstract paintings are incredible—mostly as they resemble more as sculptures than paintings. Born in Beijing in 1954, the artist is known to apply his oil paint with spatulas and shovels.
“Thickness … visually guides you to change your worldview,” he said. “It can be used as a point of breakthrough.”
This head-on view does not really showcase the brilliance of this work, so I have also photographed another one from the side so you can see how the oil paints leave the canvas and protrude a great few inches from the surface.
Zhu Jinshi was born in Beijing, China in 1954, where he currently lives and works.
