Peng Jian was born in Yueyang, Hunan Province in 1982. He graduated with a master’s degree from the China Academy of Art at Hangzhou in 2013. He now lives and works in Hangzhou.

Like other “New Ink” artists, Peng Jian uses traditional Chinese painting materials to produce contemporary works. His paintings are mainly divided in 2 series: one shows vistas of Chinese cities seen from inside a scholar’s room while the other features piles of brightly colored books adroitly arranged to resemble abstract works.

His works have been exhibited in domestic and international museums and art fairs, including the National Art Museum of China, Shanghai Art Museum, Today Art Museum, Zhejiang Art Museum, Hongik Museum of Art, Sydney City Hall, Hong Kong Maritime Museum, Art Basel Hong Kong, etc.
