Stop At More Than Just

1/6/2024 - 7/7/2024

Artist: Wang Jing
Curator: Sun Lei

​PREFACE

Wang Jing's "stop" is a measure of speech, using a structural method of continuous reduction and purification to "stop at" everything that can be said, "stop at" the visible part, and "stop at" the knowable world, and it is this that triggers the irrepressible power of "not stopping". She seems to deliberately "landscape" the scenery in her paintings. This method allows her to break away from the quagmire of the original Chinese painting expression not only in terms of thinking form but also in technical language, becoming more free and comfortable. Following the landscape consciousness, we can see that there is an inherent resistance in Wang Jing's botanical garden, using a way that can be said to say those unspeakable words; using a visible form to describe those invisible forces; using a knowable method to guide those unknowable perfect realms. It is this natural way of "stopping" at self-existence that has created the personal warmth and human nature of "more than just" in her paintings.
