WHEN I think of Ji Dachun, I can imagine him sitting down with Rene Magritte over tea and discussing theories on painting or playing chess with Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray. Dachun is a true surrealist and there are simply not that many contemporary Chinese surrealist painters. He is as unique as the subjects of his paintings that, for all their diversity, are consistently whimsical, irreverent, absurd, and always minimal like the workspace in which they are created.
