Jia Tian Shi

Art Brokerage: Jia Tian Shi Chinese Artist: b. 1970-2012. Jia Tian Shi was born in 1970 , passed away of cancer at 2012, graduated from Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts with B.A. degree on oil painting. When it comes to his art, he was a dedicated painter, a serious artist, in my words "He seems to carve on canvas." In his paintings, you even can see little scars or carvings on the table, rust hanging on an old instrument, a single thread of fabric underneath an object . . . , amazing details. We cannot imagine the number of hours he stood in front of his easel , the dedication and effort he put into his work! Jia Tian Shi had an old soul, even he was such young joyful man. We were always touched by the subtle nostalgia in his work. He set his treasures at the center of his canvas, so serious about them that he took everything else out of the picture. He wanted our eyes to focus on the beauty he found in old things. Light shines in his painting, not everywhere, but only on what he wanted us to see. He created an atmosphere, let his viewers feel his warmth, the warmth to the past and time. We are all moved by his work. Many of you became his followers, collectors. For the beauty he reveals to us , for his talent, his hard work, for his creation, we thank him and will remember him forever. He left us at his peak of career. He was nominated to be the chairman of the artists association in his city, Fu Shun, before he died. He also won several awards at national art exhibitions, and was a professor at the art school in Fu Shun. Listings wanted.
