Guo Jing

Guo Jing was born in 1985 in Shanxi Province, China, and is based in Beijing. He graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in Beijing; the exact year of graduation and the specific degree are not documented in the sources available for this profile. He works as a hyperrealist painter.

His exhibition history, as documented, begins with solo shows at Red Gate Gallery and Will Space, both in Beijing; specific exhibition titles and dates for these shows are not documented in available sources. Beyond this, sources describe his work as having been shown widely in China, without naming further venues or years.

Note on identity: the name Guo Jing, and its close variants Guojing and Jing Guo, are shared by several unrelated people in the Chinese art and publishing worlds, including a different painter named Guo Jin (born 1964, Sichuan) who has an active auction record, a picture book illustrator known as Guojing or Jing Guo, and a photography curator also known as Jing Guo. This profile concerns only the Beijing based hyperrealist painter born in 1985, and none of the biographical or market details attached to those other individuals have been applied to him here.

No verbatim critical assessment from a named critic in a major outlet was located for this artist as of 2026-07-13. The available written material is limited to gallery exhibition text and artist biography copy from an independent literary and arts platform, which describes him in factual, biographical terms rather than through critical analysis of his paintings.

No auction sale of a work by this Guo Jing, born 1985, has been located in the major auction databases and market trackers reviewed for this profile. A separate and unrelated painter, Guo Jin, born 1964 in Sichuan, does have a documented, modest auction record at houses including Bonhams and Sotheby's. Those results belong to Guo Jin and should not be read as evidence of this artist's market.

What can be documented is gallery activity. Red Gate Gallery and Will Space, both in Beijing, have given him solo exhibitions, though exact titles and dates are not documented. A social media post from Art Central Hong Kong's page also shows his paintings on view at ASTRA ART, Shanghai, though the exact date of that exhibition is not confirmed. Taken together, this indicates a working, exhibited painter without, at this time, a visible public secondary market.

The single most important thing for a collector to know is that this artist's name is not unique. At least three other people, an auction active painter named Guo Jin born in 1964, a picture book illustrator known as Guojing or Jing Guo, and a photography curator also called Jing Guo, are frequently mixed together with this artist in search results and even in some art databases. Any auction result, museum credit, or award attributed to "Guo Jing" should be checked against the 1985 birth year and the Central Academy of Fine Arts education before it is treated as belonging to this artist.

Beyond that, the record is genuinely thin. There is no published catalogue raisonne, no confirmed certificate of authenticity program, no verified auction result, and no confirmed museum collection holding for this artist as of this writing. His clearest points of institutional contact are Red Gate Gallery and Will Space in Beijing, which have mounted solo exhibitions of his work with dates not documented, and ASTRA ART in Shanghai, where his paintings have been shown at an unconfirmed date. Collectors should treat any claims about pricing or demand for this artist with caution until a public sales record exists.
