Han Jiaquan was born in 1972 in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province in China. He graduated from the Department of Oil Painting of China Academy of Art, Beijing in 1998. He currently works as a lecturer at DongHua University, Shanghai, China. Han is interested in presenting his works by maintaining each element’s unique characteristic but at the same time keeping the aesthetic stance neutral, as the artist sees the neutralizing process as a course of synthesis and adjustment.
Han Jiaquan’s works have been shown in several major institutions, including Voice of Asia, ARARIO GALLERY, Shanghai, 2017; Self Reset, MAO Space, Shanghai, 2016; WE, K11Museum, Shanghai, 2016; Small is Beautiful, Jewelvary Art & Boutique, Shanghai, 2015; Space,M50 Art Space, Shanghai, 2013; Bloom, Bloom Art space, Shanghai, 2013; Jungle II—A Thriving Morphology, Platform China Contemporary, Beijing, 2013; At Sixs and Sevens, Creative Space, M50, Shanghai, 2011; Race to the Ground, H Gallery, Bangkok, Thailand, 2007; Mirroring Refined, Nest Gallery, M50, Shanghai, 2006 and more.
