Introduction

iPreciation is pleased to announce its first participation in the Art Miami New York at Pier 94 in early May 2016.

The gallery will present a solo exhibition of ink paintings by Gao Xingjian. The presentation features both early and recent works, highlighting the development of his distinctive visual language.

About Gao Xingjian

Gao Xingjian (b. 1940, China/France) is a leading cultural figure whose practice spans multiple disciplines. He is an internationally recognised writer, playwright, theatre director, painter, and photographer.

In 2000, he became the first Chinese writer to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Over the years, he has received numerous international honours. In 1989, the Asian Cultural Council in the United States awarded him a fellowship. The French government later recognised his contributions to the arts with the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 1992 and the Legion of Honor in 2002.

In 2006, the New York Public Library honoured him with the Library Lions Award during the Library Lions Benefit event.

Art Miami New York 2016

The team behind Art Miami organises Art Miami New York. The fair debuted at Pier 94 in May 2015.

The 2016 edition marks the second year of the event. It also takes place during an important week in the New York art calendar.

Several major art events occur during the same period, including the Frieze Week and the spring auction season.

Gao Xingjian’s Ink Paintings

At Art Miami New York, iPreciation will present a selection of Gao Xingjian’s expressive ink paintings.

His works explore themes of memory, imagination, and the human condition. Using layered ink washes and abstract forms, Gao creates atmospheric compositions that reflect both inner landscapes and philosophical reflection.

Gallery Statement

Managing Director Helina Chan shares:

“We are excited to present Gao’s ink paintings to the American audience. He is a truly unique Renaissance figure today.

His intellectual depth and artistic sensitivity appear clearly in these works. Both his writing and painting inform his visual language.

I hope American museums and collectors recognise his remarkable talent. Gao is not simply a Chinese artist. He is an international artist who reflects on the human condition through a universally understood language.”
