In July 2007 we received from our Chinese agent a number of inexpensive but stunning art prints created by young talented artists who recently graduated from a Chinese art academy. One of these emerging young "baby boomer" artists is Dai Jia.
Education and Training
Dai Jia was born in 1985 in Jiangxi province. In 2003, she began her printmaking studies at the printmaking department of CNAFA, Hangzhou. In 2007, she attended the exhibition of "Graduates' Prints", and "88352 Print Exhibition for Seven Young Printmakers" (88 means bye-bye, and 352 is their academy's number). Her teacher in woodcut printmaking is the great master Zhang Minjie.
Bowl Series
The Bowl series shows Chinese bowls with designs of hundred children at play. This design is traditional and welcomed in China. It means endless happiness and luck.
The children at play are vivid and drawn with different gestures. The composition also signals the old Chinese ideal of a family with many boys.
Dai Jia composed the children in a kind of tridimensional view. Thus it looks like the children are playing in the bowl.

Chinese Colorful Bowl with Hundred Children

The following statement by famous artist Zhang Minjie was slightly edited by artelino
"Dai Jia is one of my students of 2007's graduates. Her graduation artworks Chinese Colorful Bowl with Design of Hundred Children at Play and Chinese Blue Bowl with Design of Hundred Children at Play are well concepted and designed. The woodcuts are of great delicacy, they explain very well Chinese traditional culture. With her modern expression, she gives new life to traditional culture. The technique of printmaking that she uses, is printing colors on one board. This technique is also an exploration. It makes her prints different from others. They are wonderful woodcuts."
