Shi Jinsong (born 1969, Hubei, China) is a Chinese artist based in Wuhan and Beijing. He studied at Hubei Academy of Fine Arts. He is particularly known for his first solo exhibition in the United States at Chambers Fine Art in New York Na Zha Baby Boutique exhibition, a series of stainless steel sculptures depicting baby accessories—rattle, cot, stroller, etc.—made from razor-sharp blades (Na Zha is a child warrior deity in Chinese mythology). Chambers Fine Art described this work as a “dialogue, at once menacing and ironic, between the forms of mythic Chinese culture and modern day globalization”. He returned to this theme for his Secret Book of Cool Weapons, which portrayed corporate logos such as the Nike Swoosh as martial arts weapons.
