Jia Juan Li was born in Huangzhou, China. She successfully completed her Arts Degree at the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts and studied at the Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing. In 1996, she was granted a scholarship to study at the Ecole d'Art in Aix en Provence. She has since remained in France working from her studio in the centre of Paris but with regular visits to China.
Her most recent paintings depict female life at Court during the Qing dynasty. This period in Chinese history - a remakably rich one from a cultural perspective - fascinates Jia and has proved to be a major source of inspiration for her. The paintings all have a profoundly Chinese expression and atmosphere but it is also very clear that Jia has incorporated Western oil techniques in their execution. It is this fusion of East and West which gives her work both subtlety and impact.
Jia has an international following and has had sell out shows in France and throughout Asia. MacLean Fine Art is delighted to be the first UK gallery to showcase a solo exhibition of her work
