Biography

Ding Guohong (Bai Ding) graduated from Donghua University, Shanghai, and the Postgraduate Program at China Academy of Art. Along his art career he has a keen interest in the Chinese traditional technique of repairing broken potteries, “Jin Shan” (金繕). He has been incorporating concepts from such technique into his works and has developed the series “Restoration” as a result.

 

“Jin Shan” symbolizes an approach in life, facing flaws and imperfections with materials and spiritual mind that one treasures the most. Rather than hiding these imperfections, we try to face them with an open mind, developing and improving them meticulously. Such approach calls for abiding by your aspiration to beauty consistently despite the evanescence of all things in life, seeking perfection in imperfections and turning them into a splendor ultimately.

 

In 2021, he was invited to exhibit two monumental pieces of installation from the “Restoration” series at the World Trade Center, New York, US.

 

Ding is now a member of China Artists Association, the Committee Member of China Fine Arts Education Committee, researcher at Art Creation Research Center of Zhejiang University, a member of “Shui Mo Yuan” studio at College of Fine Arts of Shanghai University, and a researcher at Contemporary Ink Talent Peak Class at Shanghai Institute of Visual Art.
