There is a certain pull when viewing Ann Niu’s paintings. Something about the unconstrained flow of her lines - vivacious, sensual, confident, intense. Captivating. All these can be experienced in “1,2,3” - Ann Niu’s first solo exhibition at Sin Sin Fine Art since 2010. At the core, “1,2,3” reflects the principles of her artistic creation: simplicity. She simply would like to express all the emotions that exist through her works. As simple as 1,2,3 - straight from her soul to the lines she created on her canvas and paper. However, simple does not necessarily mean easy. What appears as seemingly effortless flowing lines, shapes and colours are the result of years of dedicated creative explorations.
Ann Niu endeavours to capture the movements of what she calls the unforgetable souls. Skillfully, she poured them into her works - guided by her finely honed sensibility and intuition. Her rich experience and mastery of the brush enable her to liberate her subconscious - transforming immaterial dreams and elusive senses into poetic works of art. Their unusual beauty invites you into her mysterious realms where things seems to be floating in dynamic movements, even when they are in stillness.
A Shanghai native, Ann Niu has been all over the world. Trained with master Chinese calligraphers from young age, she studied in Shanghai and Tokyo and has lived in South Korea and the United States. She has had exhibitions in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei, Japan, Australia, Singapore, the Netherlands, France, and the United States since 2000. Her expressive works have been gracing many public places, such as Shanghai XinTianDi, Hong Kong Joyce Boutique and Shanghai Moca’s Glass Mural. From 2001 to now, Ann Niu’s works have been collected by Singapore National Art Museum, America Blackstone Group, Schawazman Foundation, Hong Kong Shanghai HSBC, and many private collectors all over the world.
