Zhou Jinhua
Zhou Jinhua (b. 1978, Deyang, Sichuan) is a Chinese contemporary artist known for his distinctive bird’s-eye perspectives. Trained in oil painting at the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, he constructs expansive scenes populated by anonymous, miniature figures whose actions hover between the ordinary and the surreal. By disrupting scale, perspective and the familiar logic of public space, Zhou examines the unstable relationship between the individual and the collective, as well as the distance between lived reality and its representation. Alongside painting on canvas, he has worked with unconventional supports including roof tiles, bricks, broken glass and reclaimed building materials. His works have been exhibited across China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Indonesia, Germany and Australia, and are represented in the White Rabbit Collection in Sydney.
