Shuhua Jin’s career as an artist began in 1975, in the rigid society of Communist China. He was a significant contributor to the Shanghai Oil Painting and Sculpture Institute. However despite his growing success, he soon felt restricted by the traditional approaches and themes of painting and experimented increasingly with Western themes and concepts. In 1989, Jin travelled to London after being invited to lecture at the Chinese Cultural Centre and soon after, started his new art venture – searching, creating and exhibiting.

It was from here that he began working on his new abstract paintings. He produced a series of three paintings, ‘Break’, ‘Knots’ and ‘Existence’ – all of which reflected the uncertainty he faced in his new life in London. With the eventual reunion of Jin’s family and acceptance from the Western world, he continued to paint with power and emotion, developing a new series of paintings by creating figures from a variety of geometric surfaces and deep vibrant colour.

Throughout the last decade, Jin has been evolving his painting styles and techniques. His brush strokes have become more fluid and less rigid, exuding confidence and strength. The forms of the human body are emphasised with mixed-sex structural compositions, through which, according to Jin, the expression of the power of human spirit radiates through the lines, forms and colour, has also began to increasingly amalgamate traditional Chinese painting brush strokes and materials in his abstract work to emphasise the paradox essay.

His recent art activities have been liaisons with Chinese artists and Museums. He was invited to exhibit his new version of paintings at Ningbo Art Museum together with other Chinese artists after twenty five years in Britain. It was the first time he was able to represent the works featuring the fine collections of London National Art Gallery in his new ‘art Language’, given a tint of influential of western masters to the Eastern.

Shuhua Jin’s new five large scale of paintings are featured in the China Maritime Museum’s collection. Those paintings show his capability in term of technique, using the structures to built up the layers of colour. “The echos of tradition in the modern way.” Museum Critic in Shanghai.
