Ying JingJing (b. 1986) was born in Zhejiang, China. In the assorted myriad of contradic- tions that JingJing takes on in her work, the influence of traditional Chinese ink painting and photorealistic oil painting come to the fore. Having graduated with an MFA in Oil Painting at Nanjing University of the Arts in 2015, her work is an exploration of dichotomy and its role in genesis. Each painting asks the viewer to question whether they are witnessing a visual abstraction of natural transmutation, or if they are being made privy to a snapshot of an ancient alchemical process, caught mid-motion. Ying continues to expand her artistic practice, more recently moving away from her sharp, crystalline shapes towards brighter colors and softer outlines. Since 2019, she has also been incorporating sculpture into her oeuvre as she develops her Blobs series.

Ying has had multiple solo and group exhibitions in galleries throughout Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou and Nanjing as well as at Simard Bilodeau Contemporary in Los Angeles, California. Her work was well received at the LA Art Show, Palm Springs Art Fair, Shanghai Art Fair, and Art Busan; and in auxiliary events that ran in conjunction with Frieze Los Angeles 2020 with MASS Beverly and MINOTTI.  In November 2021, Jingjing exhibited her artworks for the first time at the world-renowned art fair West Bund Art and Design in Shanghai. Jingjing Ying’s work is part of many prominent public and private art collections including Ritz Carlton; Kempinski Hotel;  Swiss company Roche; SDEER Co., Ltd; Shanghai Art Museum; Shanghai Runway Co., Ltd., Patent and Trademark Office China of the International Commission; and others.
