In 1997, Jianping He moved to Germany and studied at Berlin University of Arts.

He is highly acclaimed internationally, and it can be said that he is one of the most note worthy young upcoming graphic designers in the world.
Jianping He’s works hold conceptual sense of Europe, together with the sign of Asian touch. In his works, he combines photography and typography, which turn out to be radical, strong, and beautifully expressed visual language, overflowing with deep contemplation.
The exhibition, “Jianping He Flashback,” will ‘Flashback’ to his 15 years of career, introducing selection of more than 50 posters and book designs.
“ggg Books-101 Jianping He” will also be published in tandem with the show.
