Poster of Shen Ruijun

Shen Ruijun is a thinker in life and art. She transforms those boundless impressions into interesting and diverse art forms, and use rich materials for creation, renewing artistic structure from fragments of memory. She makes her own interpretation of the thinking about the world and life through her works, using the experience of interaction to attract the audience, prompting the audience to participate in thinking.

Maybe time and space are the most important experiences for Shen in her life. She absorbs artistic concepts and creative themes from a variety of geographical locations and cultural contexts, seeking unusual insights of life. These rich life experiences and artistic attainments prompted her to be more adept at artistic language into ordinary life, just as her works narrate a different scene, in which those exquisite brushwork and delicate lines are able to give you the most purely artistic sense, which is full of strength and readability, and more directly leads us to read her mind.

This exhibition is what Shen Ruijun constructs us a discussion on space and time.Time carved light, leaving marks on the imaging device, like a beautiful and quiet melody under the sun. The exhibition of black and white, bright and dark space is existing right there; it is the flow of time and overlap; it is breaking up the whole into parts; and also it is Damour meditation's infinite world.

A variety of art forms in the exhibition shows us about the time, objects, scenery and life. Shen used her creation to collage out in a series of a life time, life perception, giving a rebirth to those touches that buried deep in our hearts which is not easy to be remembered. At the same time, her emotion to the items makes her works with stronger idea. The extension of time is the witness of her artistic ideas, as archaeologists explore human history, with a powerful and unconstrained surrealism style, leading the audience to a modern utopia.

Art is the process of converting the soul, is the communication of soul among people, is the interaction between people and nature, there is no need to enforce that deep philosophy, what more important and more beautiful is the interpretation and understanding of different individuals. Yu Li wrote in the Feeling by chance. Lotus: All lotuses suit the view of eyes and ears, its all parts suit home use. What we have to do is that to walk into the work, find our own lotus, enjoying the moment and situation by now, and experience that time and mood reflected by the bright world, encounter the accidentally wonderful.
