borning in the western Gansu,Sun Minggang has a kind of almost naked sincerity in his character,and just this verity bring his art making and profession with energy of motion.The energy of motion makes his works showing firmness and abundance which few people have.From the early realistic works to the performance of exploration,the artist has drawn out one status to another with his painting brush.
A man come to 30 years old would to think about the life,and for Sun Minggang,who was born in 1979 but been divided to the artist of the 1980s, his work of"Youth Journal"series marks his works’ thought into rational and mature. He uses his paintbrush easily and freely shows the young girls’ living states,at the same time,he left us a incomplete visual thinking,and that seemingly simple pieces of record surprised us: immaturity and vivacity can perfectly intergrated with gloom and complexity.How can the artist keep such a mood:no sympathy,no wrath,and only reasonable existence.This is what a kind of world? ----Lao Yang
Sun Minggang's paintings showing modern life color.girl on the pictures always gazes at you,and there is nothing in her eyes.Hanging in the sky with no grasp and no result, making viewers and her in different worlds.not desiring to be recognized and fearless mood attract the viewers' attention.Naked body is the mature of semi-manufactures. ----HuoRong
