Mao Space presents Jin Jinghong’s solo exhibition Layers from September 10th through to October 10th in 2016 for the first time.
A series of “smear”–form actions have combined these layers. I had to say it is a fresh and fascinating manner of working.
It’s rare to see some meanings of concern in Jin Jinghong’s works. As we lost ourselves gradually, he seemed to find a way to approach the world. This way didn’t judge the world directly, but peeled layer upon layer through a set of movements and spread these bitty parts out in the same space. He would make some connections and express his perception. And much more than this, he concerned people’s feelings. People can use their own eyes to bond these component parts themselves or understand the real world in their own logic. Even Jin JInghong’s works haven’t shown any space single and fixed.
Reality is also a theme worthy of consideration. People should believe every tree and bush within sight and the lawns mowed in an artificial process. Or maybe the whole view in front of us covered by the feelings from the past time can reflect the real life moments. Jin Jinghong gave us an explanation, from his point, that the process of decomposing symbiotic state of human beings and the natural world is more real. He has laid these fragments down completely. Meanwhile each inside has been permeated with the other, and each part has also affected the other part.
Jin Jinghong said:” I’m not drawing, I am creating a image.” when he talked about his art. Perhaps Jin Jinghong had an expectation that people would find their own key and understanding.
