Jizi (1941–2015, birth name Wang Yunshan) was a Chinese ink painter.[1]

Yunshan Wang was born in Hebei, China. He began painting in the late 1950s. During the Cultural Revolution, he made portraits of Chairman Mao. In the 1980s, Jizi, like many artists at the time, questioned the future of Chinese painting and the creative possibilities of brush and ink. This led him to explore what he called the "Dao of Ink Landscapes", referencing the philosophies of Laozi and Zhuangzi to emphasize the spirituality of Chinese landscape painting. He used layered ink, multiple optical effects, and a free assemblage of different forms in an attempt to capture the continuous transformation of natural phenomena such as water and clouds. His works have been described as "macroscopic".[2]
