Even as a child he displayed a great love and talent for painting and drawing. In 1964, he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from the prestigious Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. Upon graduation, Jiang and a small number of other artists volunteered to go down to the Yunnan province. From 1966 to 1973, the Chinese Government assigned him to produce 'Socialist Realism' propaganda posters and sculptures. Stifled by this sterile exercise, Jiang worked at night on his bed in a small room to create his own style. Along with two other artists, he secretly found what is now known as the 'Yunnan School.' In 1982, a National Geographic reporter covering life in China, saw Jiang's paintings and brought some back to the United States. Jiang's work was met with great success. In 1983, Jiang came to the United States as part of a cultural exchange program with the University of Southern California. His rich, strong color and exotic but intimate imagery struck an immediate response with the American public.
