BLUE KINGFISHER
Duan Jianyu: The Seduction of Village
Text by Ruth Noack.
In the paintings and installations of Chinese artist Duan Jianyu (born 1972), jungle animals mingle with Chinese peasants, acrobats perform alongside uniformed soldiers, and chickens peck and scratch in unlikely settings. Painting in a deliberately naïve style, Duan suffuses her fantastic tableaux with a mood of banality that only deepens their mysteriousness.
