Tie Ying: “The World Is Yours” Exhibition Launch Party

“Any record of events can ignite a fresh understanding and reevaluation of the things considered already known and maybe unknown. I want to present a new perspective on life’s dilemmas and confirm the supremacy of freedom of thought and expression whilst demonstrating the absurdities and conflicts between them.”

- Tie Ying, visual artist featured at ROOMbeijing’s new Artists Project

This coming Friday, April 8 will mark the launch of ROOMbeijing’s Artist Projects featuring Tie Ying’s newest series of art works.

Tie Ying is a visual artist originally from Harbin, China and has exhibited all over the world – most recently at Cath Alexandrine Danneskiold-Samsoe Gallery in Copenhagen, Denmark, and he will be the first featured artist to be invited to display some of his large pieces of artwork as a part of a month-long exhibition beginning this coming Friday night at 7:00PM.

Art works by Tie Ying focus on the diversity and variability of individual perception and the language of art. Inspired by current news and utilizing photographs from the internet and other media sources, Tie Ying inputs his own perspective to extend the significance of the image to provide a broader perspective for his audience to realize and uncover the relationship between the world and humanity among the never-ending cycle of changes in the world.

“I’m willing to express the dilemma of life and the vertices of freedom on thinking and expression from a wholly different angle, meanwhile to show the absurdity and contradictory between the two.” – Tie Ying

The strong personal style and conceptual thinking embodied in his works have drawn much
attention and recognition from many renowned art organizations and personal art collectors
around the world. Tie Ying has mounted a number of solo exhibitions in many influential galleries
worldwide, notably Malborough Gallery in New York and Mai 36 Gallery in Zurich.

‘The World Is Yours Art Series’ by Tie Ying

CW 2010 Reader's Choice AwardsUnlike theBeijinger and Time Out magazines, CityWeekend lumps both the Dining & Nightlife Award Categories into one evening rather than split it up into two events. And for the first time this year, CityWeekend changed it up and actually kept the vote count visible to the public and made sure that every voter had a validated CW User Name Account.

If you are interested in comparing results, check out theBeijinger Restaurant Awards Breakdown posted here.  Time Out’s Restaurant Awards Breakdown is posted here.

I unfortunately was not in Beijing to attend the CityWeekend’s awards ceremony at Brasserie Flo, but word on the street was that it was packed and the turn-out was impressive.
