Art thief Jeff Dieschburg plagiarised the work of Jingna Zhang and presented it as his own version of Turandot. Even winning prize money for it.

When confronted, he claimed he was “inspired” by her work even though it’s obviously just her work but flipped and recoloured.

In other news, Jingna is not the only artist he has chosen to steal from.

Here is his lovely responses when questioned. “I don’t understand why you have to make such a scene”, “I didn’t represent this woman from Japan (or wherever she is from)”. Smells like white bullshit.

And here is a snippet of a message he sent to Jingna trying to cover his ass after she found out about his plagiarism. Btw the person he “stumbled upon” is another plagiariser, birds of a feather something something.

US-BASED SINGAPORE PHOTOGRAPHER LOSES SUIT AGAINST LUXEMBOURG ARTIST SHE ACCUSED OF PLAGIARISM

US-based Singapore photographer Zhang Jingna has lost her suit against Luxembourg artist Jeff Dieschburg for allegedly plagiarizing her work.

Dieschburg also displayed the work at an exhibition in Luxembourg and won a prize of €1,500 for it.

This is not the only time Dieschburg has been accused of misappropriating another artist's work and claiming full credit for it. The US photographer Bekka Björke has also accused him of doing the same with their photography:

Zhang has stated she intends to appeal the court's decision.

wasn't there JUST another case of an artist who virtually replicated an asian photographer's photo, passed it off as his own painting, and then profitted and won an award for it. Jeff Dieschburg vs Jingna Zhang if I'm not mistaken. unfortunately the ruling went against Zhang. they said her photograph "lacked originality" and thus not deserving of copyright protection. but like in that case everyone else agreed that the artist who replicated her photograph was in the wrong and that the ruling was unjust towards Zhang. how is the straycatj issue different from her case?

#it doesn't even seem like landlady was particularly arguing about copyright so much as expressing frustration at the artist #and yet everyone is bringing up copyright issue just to have something to get mad about/so they can keep arguing with the landlady #she said the artist is not a real artist. well 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ maybe she's right. maybe she's wrong. what is it to you?

I'm so sorry for her.  Jeff  Dieschburg is absolutely an    art thief. I hope his name will spread around the world as a plagiarizer.  What he sees every time he searches for his name on the net is “the thief”.

(The instagram account named his name looks like a joke, Yes he is a professional tracer. )

Of course this guy comes from Luxembourg. It was inevitable, really....
