I noticed Junqin Xing in 2006 at Vecchiato Gallery but the prices they asked me seemed too high for an unknown Chinese artist. He is still unknown but the solo exhibition in 798 Avant gallery New York contributed a little bit to surge.

I liked two things from him. First, he is a colonel of the red army painting contemporary art. Incredible for an occidental! And second, his rethinking of important artworks or symbols through a war or camouflage style with a small cynic point of view, as best example the red army soldiers with Coca-cola cans. He is able to paint matters like religion or occidental consumism without had been censured.

I liked so much the cross cube because of his religious significance and the interpretation of the camouflage that seem to talk to us the disasters of the war and the suffering of the humanity, moreover than be from Dalí, one of my most admiralty painters and combine the concept “camouflage” with other of the big like Warhol.

At this stage, June 2008, I am not so sure I will maintain it in my collection. True, I like it, I really like it, but I bought it because of a matter of price. I found it through Internet at a very affordable price, a very strange affordable price, and I decided to buy it in order to resell it and make cash to buy other more known artists. But I am not sure, like I am not sure why this little price… because of the matter of the painting, because it remained unsold for two years after the original exhibition… At these days the Chinese market is so strange than is really difficult to follow it.
