Beverly Hills, California, USA. 26th May, 2021. The Los Angeles Beverly Arts (LABA) and the LABA Los Angeles International Art Festival are proud to announce a unique art event called "Inextricably Linked: The Art of Jiannan Huang." The private viewing event (or vernissage) of his artwork took place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. Three of his original oil paintings were on display for invited guests to view. The artwork that was on display was "Inextricably Linked," "The Sky of Sky," and "Earth Code."

Jiannan Huang, also known as Miao Jian, is one of the World's finest artists in oil painting and traditional Chinese ink painting. He is Gold Medal-winner of the Global Charity Alliance and was awarded the title of "Earl" by the Indonesian Royal Family. Huang has been on the Hurun China Art List published by the Hurun Research Institute for seven years. In 2020, Jiannan ranked 3rd on the Hurun Art List for Chinese artists and 19th on the Hurun Global Art List as one of the top artists in the World. Jiannan is ranked 21st in the "Top 500 Global Contemporary Artists" at Artprice, the authoritative European and American art website. In his early years, Jiannan walked more than 38,000 kilometers across China, traveled north and south, and went deep into desert villages and towns to see the country and experience life for creating his art.
