Biography

Chen Jiang Hong was born in 1963 near Beijing, China. He earned his master’s degree in fine arts from Beijing’s school of Arts and set up as a painter and illustrator in Paris in 1987. For all of his drawings, he uses ancestral and traditional Chinese techniques which combine India ink and rice paper. His illustrations are characterized by movement of colours, as well as by the variation of rhythm and distance. Very close to the earth, he uses primarily red and black. Chen decided to move to France in 80’s because: “I couldn’t work in China as I work here. It’s not forbidden, but Chinese doesn’t have this conception of album and techniques like Europeans there is any consideration for children’ books in China”.

He wilfully chooses to work on fairytales: “I grew up in China during the great cultural revolution. Back then, propaganda books were the alone to be allowed. Now, I take my revenge: I didn’t have the opportunity to read books when I was younger; now I made it”.
