Jiang Wenbin

Liaoning – China, 1982

Exhibition Ciudades Invisibles


Inspired by Surrealist perspectives, Jiang Wenbin focuses on the fusion of dreams and reality, breaking away from traditional logic to create otherworldly scenes. He explores alternative worlds and parallel realities while questioning the very concepts of reality and human existence.

For more than 20 years, Jiang Wenbin has been working on his Fantastic Cities series. Through paintings depicting urban landscapes from altered perspectives, he expresses his distinctive artistic vision. His mastery of realistic painting is such that he presents viewers with unreal scenes that appear entirely real. He gathers fragments of images from the world around him and combines them to create a “new reality”, one that is entirely his own.

Inspirado en las perspectivas surrealistas, Jiang Wenbin se centra en la fusión entre los sueños y la realidad, rompiendo con la lógica tradicional para crear escenas sobrenaturales. Explora universos alternativos y realidades paralelas, al tiempo que cuestiona los propios conceptos de realidad y existencia humana.

Desde hace más de 20 años, Jiang Wenbin trabaja en su serie Ciudades Fantásticas. A través de la representación de escenas urbanas desde perspectivas alteradas, plasma sobre el lienzo su visión artística singular. Su dominio de la técnica pictórica realista es tal que ofrece al espectador escenas irreales que parecen absolutamente reales. Recoge fragmentos de imágenes de la realidad y los combina para crear una «nueva realidad», una realidad que le es propia.
