Yitui | Ma Baozhong's sketch collection
Art Push Culture
Ma Baozhong is a professional painter who has participated in the First Chinese Oil Painting Biennale (1993, Beijing), the 8th National Art Exhibition (1994, Beijing), the "Gate of the Century" 1979-1999 Chinese Art InvitationAl exhibition (1999, Chengdu), Chengdu Biennale (2001, Chengdu), Golden Harvest - Chinese Contemporary Art Exhibition (2002, Croatia), Today Chinese Art Exhibition (2003, Beijing) and other domestic and foreign exhibitions. Ma Baozhong is a rare painter among young painters who is interested in the theme of war, and his works face the ugliness of reality while diluting the concreteness of events in time and space rendering; laying out image metaphors, but dissolving the depth of meaning in the process of image overlay. The author constructs a feast of images with distinctive contemporary characteristics: killing, sex, political deals, technological means... Like mass culture, Ma Baozhong never seems to be ready to express his position, but only pursues visual shock.
