Sun Liang (b.1957) Saint Rain Oil on canvas 180 x 120 cms (70¾ x 47¼ inches) 1990 Literature: Sun Laing: A Painter's Journey James Hyman Gallery, London, 2008, (cat. 2), detail front and back cover, illustrated p.13. Exhibition History: Garage Art Exhibition, Shanghai, China, 1991 Genesis of Image: Sun Liang’s Oil Paintings, Shanghai Art Museum, Shanghai, China, 2006 85 New Wave, the Birth of Chinese Contemporary Art, Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing, China, 2007 The artist explains: "My paintings were flooded with a large number of skeletons from the late 80s to early 90s. This is one of the pictures with the most skeletons. The large thick drops of blood reflect the image of skeletons. During that period of time, unexpectedly, the extreme description of death would bring the pleasant sensation. I was unable to face the social circumstances. I need to add that the works I kept from late 1980s to early 1990s, most of them haven’t been exhibited and are not allowed to be shown in public. Only a few very close friends have seen them and listening to their comments and appreciation is all I had." Interview with James Hyman, December 2007.
