About the Artist
Yun-Fei Ji, born in 1963 in Beijing, China, is an acclaimed artist known for his masterful use of traditional Chinese ink painting on handmade rice paper. His distinctive works blend centuries-old techniques, including calligraphy and meticulous draftsmanship, with a contemporary critical sensibility. Ji's narratives often depict the social and ecological consequences of China's rapid modernization, focusing on displaced populations, abandoned landscapes, and ghostly figures that symbolize historical memory and loss. His nuanced use of translucent ink and natural pigments creates atmospheric and poignant scenes, inviting viewers to reflect on the complex relationship between progress, tradition, and human experience.
