Sui Jianguo
Sui Jianguo (隋建國, or Sui JianGuo), professor and ex-chairman of the Department of Sculpture in Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, is a contemporary Chinese artist.
==Biography==
Sui Jianguo was born in China, within the city of Qingdao in 1956.〔(Link text/, additional text. )〕 Both Sui’s parents were factory workers and were largely absent during his early childhood due to the workload imposed on them by the Mao government.〔(Link text ), additional text.〕 Growing up Sui got to witness the harsh realities of the Mao years. During this time Maoist socialist realism became the approved art style. This style generally portrayed Maoist ideals in a romantic positive light. These images were used to create a cult of personality for Mao. At the age of ten, schools were closed as part of the Cultural Revolution, and he began to work in the factories with his parents. In an interview he stated that he was “transfixed in the age of Mao worship, when Mao was virtually a God at home”. Painting had not been a career option for Sui until the age of eighteen when he broke his arm, which took him away from his factory work. According to Sui, during this period he had contemplated his “spiritual” life and what he wanted to do with his future. Soon after and with the permission and guidance of his father he began studying painting at night under the cover of darkness.〔(【引用サイトリンク】first=Lynn )〕
Upon his return to the factory Sui would paint propaganda posters of Mao in the socialist realist fashion. His studies and practice gave fruit to his first true work: a traditional Chinese landscape painting, which he completed in 1976 after the death of Mao. After the death of Mao Zedong, the Chinese government loosened its grip on the population, and educational reforms were quick to follow. Sui took advantage of the new freedoms and moved Jinan and then Shandong where he would receive his major in sculpture, a few years later he would get his master's degree in Arts at the central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. According to Sui by the time he had enrolled in college he had decided he wanted to do sculpture, this was inspired by his previous years in the factories where people would tell him he had “skill in using his hands”.〔 After gaining his master's degree, Sui travelled to the Netherlands, Australia, Japan, and other places to display his art. He also worked as a guest professor or speaker at several universities outside of China. Finally, Sui returned to become chairman of the department of Sculpture at the Central Academy of Fine Arts.
Sui became internationally prominent through the use of “naturalistic sculptures” that made use of rocks, boulders, and steel. These early sculptures brought him out into the international scene. Sui’s true acclaim came in 1997 when he crafted his first Mao suit a sculpture that imitated Chairman Mao’s communist jacket. His jackets would interest famous collectors such as Uli Sigg and help gain him recognition in the international scene.〔
