Jiqun Chen's Art Works oil paintings from Steppe nomadic life and nature [Page - Jiqun Chen - 2Ko - 2012]

I have lived in the Mongolian steppe for more than ten years (1967-1980). I have been going back to Mongolia for the past few decades and I have been visiting Mongolia for a long time. There are 700 kinds of native pastures and many wild animals such as yellow sheep and swans. There are various cranes and wolves, and the nomads lived there for two thousand years depending on the nomadic culture. It is the hometown of Genghis Khan and the hometown of the Genghis Khan Code, so the ecological protection is very good. map: http://www.cnsteppe.com/map_en_x.htm photo: http://www.cnsteppe.com/photo_steppe_Chen.htm [Biography - Jiqun Chen - 2Ko]

Painter devotes artistry to protecting enviroment in Inner Mongolia By Liu Hui / Chinadaily http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2017-07/10/content_30060670.htm The Ujimqin tribe has been living in Dong Ujimqin Banner of Xilin Gol League, North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region, practicing their old nomadic ways for ages. However, since the 1970s, the industrialization and urbanization brought great changes to the lifestyles of the herdsmen. Take the Ulagai River as an example; it originates in the Greater Hinggan Mountains in Northeast China, covering 320km. But by the end of the 1970s, several reservoirs had been built on its upper and mid reaches for fishery and industrial uses, which left the lower reaches subject to repeated droughts and desertification. In 1967, artist Chen Jiqun relocated to the rolling grassland as an educated youth, also known as zhiqing, who left the urban districts to live and work in rural areas as part of the "Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside Movement" during the "cultural revolution" (1966-76). Chen's artistic career was inspired by his 13-year stint in Dong Ujimqin Banner. "I feel pained as I witness the Dong Ujimqin prairie degrading day-by-day," Chen said. "With the deterioration of the ecology of the grassland, the traditional prairie culture is also vanished rapidly." When asked about the treatment of the grassland, Chen said it is just like the skin. "If it had been destroyed or affected with cancer, it might not be easy to recover." He added that joint efforts should be made to address the thorny issue faced across the grassland in Inner Mongolia autonomous region.   Nowadays, the 71-year-old, renowned for his oil paintings of portraits and landscapes, has devoted himself to preserving Inner Mongolia's environment, local people's rights and nomadic cultural traditions through the sale of his paintings.

Unheard Voices ; The grasslands of Chen Jiqun’s youth live on in his paintings even if they continue to recede in reality. Vast landscapes filled with horses galloping between herds of sheep, goats, and cows grazing on foot-high grass have been replaced with cornfields, fenced-in pastures, mines, and increasingly, deserts. ; Chen moved to Inner Mongolia in 1967, a young man in search of adventure. ; The middle rider on horseback is Chen: ; He stayed until 1980, doing a variety of jobs including living as a semi-nomadic herder for a few years. Returning frequently throughout the 1980s and 1990s to paint and visit friends, Chen witnessed how reform policies, including the uneven implementation of the household responsibility system, affected the grasslands. After the so-called “enclosure policy” began creeping northward through Inner Mongolia in the late 1990s with desertification not far behind, Chen felt compelled to do something. “I kept reading about what was happening on the grasslands, but it was never from the viewpoint of the Mongol herders. Actually, they were always cast as the cause of desertification rather than as the victims,” reflects Chen. ; [Biography - Jiqun Chen - 2Ko]
