Zhe-zhou Jiang, Chinese Ink and Watercolor
Paintings
September 5 - October 22, 2000
Zhe-zhou Jiang, born in China and trained in traditional Chinese
painting at the Beijing College of Fine Arts, synthesizes traditional techniques
with contemporary imagery in his ink and watercolor compositions. A long-time
resident of Philadelphia, Jiang studied with Will Barnett and Sidney Goodman
at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and has developed a distinctive
and elegant style combining the graceful line of Eastern painting with a
Western approach to subject matter. The Philadelphia and New York skylines,
evocative landscapes, and graceful horse figures are featured in the installation
along with a selection of portraits of important American figures. (left:

Zhe-zhou Jiang has participated in numerous juried exhibitions
and his work has been featured in over 20 one-person exhibitions. His paintings
are represented in over 400 public and private collections including the
China History Museum of Beijing, the Wharton School & Library of the
University of Pennsylvania; Blank, Rome, Comisky & McCauley Law Firm;
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Zulitzky, Mr. and Mrs. Steward Resnick, Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Faulkner III, and Bally's Park Place, Atlantic City.
Zhe-zhou Jiang is the founder of the Huaguang Art &
Cultural Center, Philadelphia and holds membership in the Philadelphia Water
Color Society, Center of Arts in Southern New Jersey, Chinese Artists' Groups,
and other elective organizations. A fully illustrated book on Jiang's paintings
was published in Hong Kong in 1999.
A reception for the artist is being held September 10 from
