The Yunnan School is influenced by traditional Chinese art and by modern Western influences.From 1966 to 1973 he produced ‘Socialist Realism’ propaganda posters and sculptures during Mao’s Cultural Revolution, the famous large red-faced poster of Mao is made by Jiang Tiefeng.. Due to the discouraging any individual artistic expression by China’s Communist Regime, he had to perfect his own style in secrecy. Upon moving to the United States in 1983 Jiang was able to paint without fear of political persecution. His talent and uniqueness quickly brought his work to the attention of critics and museums nationwide, this resulted in many public exhibitions. His works have been actively collected worldwide since the early 1980's.Jiang works primarily in watercolor and serigraphy. He is a genius at using line to give the illusion of depth to a flat two-dimensional surface. He is a storyteller in his art work, each figure has a symbolic meaning. His paintings have so much complexity and visual fascination that the viewer is constantly seeing something new. IMPORTANT NOTE:  PLEASE DISREGARD MY CURRENT FEEDBACK PERCENTAGE.
