zhou fan's jellyfish paintings


Zhou Fan is a Chinese artist, who was selected as one of the 25 Emerging Chinese artists by international art critics. He was born in 1983 in Shanxi Province in northern China and graduated from the art department of Shanxi University. Zhou Fan was given the "special mention" prize in 2007 as part of the Chinese Art Prize. That launched his career, and allowed him to gain much more exposure and go on to exhibit his work all around the world.




Zhou Fan has based his “Love of Jellyfish” paintings on a dream he had as a child of jellyfish floating in the sky.





I love that his themes are one part dream, one part nightmare, as well as his use of colors and the details that he puts in it. I am looking forward to seeing more of his work. For now, you can see his painting in his site here.
