Isa Genzken Paintings at the Saatchi GalleryIsa Genzken as a traditional sculptor, along with the usual remarks concerning the heterogeneity of her method and the surprising breaks between her various bodies of work, belong firmly to the topoi of her reception. Genzken's approach, which includes recourse to photography, video, film, collages, and collage books, does, it's true, represent a continuous examination of the classic themes of sculpture. Zhang Dali Paintings and Exhibitions at the Saatchi GalleryZhang Dali's intention throughout his body of work is to call attention to the changes taking place in Chinese society primarily due to the destruction of long standing communities. He wants to enter into a dialogue with his compatriots whom he sees as becoming increasingly estranged as the drive towards modernisation continues. His early graffiti work can still be seen all over the Chinese capital. Wang Guangyi Paintings at the Saatchi GalleryWang Guangyi’s paintings combine the ideological power of communist propaganda with the seductive allure of advertising. Juxtaposing revolutionary images with consumer logos, Wang’s canvases provocate with their duplicitous message, highlighting the conflict between China’s political past and commercialised present. Liu Wei Artworks, Paintings and Exhibitions at the Saatchi GalleryLiu Wei’s practice is uniquely varied. Working in video, installation, drawing, sculpture, and painting, there is no stylistic tendency which ties his work together. Rather Liu perceives the artist’s function as a responsibility of unmitigated, uncensored expression, tied to neither ideology nor form. Throughout Liu’s work lies an engagement with peripheral identity in the context of wider culture. Li Songsong Paintings and Exhibitions at the Saatchi GalleryLi Songsong, a young artist in the 70s, has been in recent years investigating the relation between public images and their transposition onto canvas. In the shift to painting these pictures, which are mainly old photos related to historical characters and facts, he hasn’t protracted the cognitive style as for some previous artists’ practice of criticizing, exposing, questioning, or satirizing and propagandizing about a certain historical period, but has used a kind of imagery enacting an object Li Qing Paintings, Exhibitions at the Saatchi GalleryLi Qing is one of China’s current young talents. Li Qing has a very distinctive style of his own, and is part of a new Chinese generation of painters.Li Qing (born in 1981 in Zhejiang province) is a graduate student at China Academy of Art and one of the representatives of this new generation. Over the last few years his art has been included many important exhibitions and rewarded several grants and awards, due to his excellence of performance - the mastery of refined and personal technique, th Stefan Kürten - Paintings and Exhibitions - the Saatchi GalleryStefan Kurten's painting Long Time Now, 2002, I suddenly thought of an old children's-book illustration for a long-unremembered nursery rhyme: "Little Jack Homer sat in a corner, / Eating his Christmas pie"--that one. The artist had imagined a small boy sitting scrunched on the floor in a corner, gazing wonderingly at a pie he held on his lap. Jonas Burgert - Paintings and Exhibitions - the Saatchi GalleryAn exhibition about death may not sound all that enticing. Nonetheless, 'Tod', the fourth in the 'Fraktale' series of contemporary art exhibitions mounted by Jonas Burgert and Ingolf Keiner in Berlin, is likely to prove a big popular success. Ivan Morley - Paintings - the Saatchi GalleryIvan Morley's paintings are inspired by the frontiersman's lore of scrappy, dried-out California towns with names like San Gabriel, El Monte, and Tehachapi. Such locales and their all-but-forgotten (and possibly artist-fabricated) histories--if you can call tales of memorable cockfights and observations on the behavior of squirrels histories-seem unlikely sources of inspiration. Christoph Ruckhäberle - Artworks, Paintings and Exhibitions - the Saatchi GalleryChristoph Ruckhaberle approaches figurative painting from a purely formalist standpoint. His elaborate configurations don’t strive to depict narrative, but rather offer perverse pleasure in the idiosyncrasy of their construction.
