2024 Online Gallery Show: Selected ART365 six exhibitions, the latest Naked Men exhibition is online on 6/15!

A writer who has never held a paintbrush before has crossed over to the art world for ten years, living in the mountains and forests and creating works behind closed doors, but why has she made a big splash in recent years, winning awards both at home and abroad? Artist Chiang Hsin-ching's "Cloud Stream, Calculation - Chiang Hsin-ching's Creative Works Exhibition" presents the insights gained from living in the mountains and forests into an inspirational presentation. Two important works are the highlights of the exhibition: the first is the large-scale creation, "Cloud Stream, Calculation", and the second is the grand finale, "Flying Flames of the Ten Thousand Heavy Mountains", a six-curve Japanese screen, with their respective styles and the stories of their creations, and they are going to be exhibited at the De Ming Art Gallery, the Memorial Hall of the Father of the Nation, from November 22nd to 29th. The exhibition will be held from November 22 to 29 at the National Father's Memorial Hall's Deming Art Gallery.

Literary background and global experience of practice Jiang Xinjing 2020, more study tours, the Institute of Contemporary Ink Art, Shanghai Academy of Visual Arts, China Academy of Fine Arts Institute of Transmedia Art senior seminar, in-depth contemporary art and philosophy of technology, the development of the exhibition "Thinking Series", by many artists, including the National Father's Memorial Museum Director Wang Lansheng, also commented on the exhibition, "deconstructing the traditional landscapes and presenting the post-epidemic era of contemplation. The exhibition has been recognized by many artists, including Wang Lansheng, Director of the National Father's Memorial Museum, who commented that the exhibition "deconstructs traditional landscapes to present contemplation in the post epidemic era. Liu Guosong, the father of modern ink painting, said, "The process of learning to paint with a quiet mind is the practice of seeking differences before seeking excellence. I used to say in my teaching that we need to find a piece of white paper, but it seems that quietness is not just any paper, but a piece of paper that has 'traveled around the world and has the energy to do so', and that is what makes it possible to have such amazing performances in such a short period of time".

In addition, Prof. Ching Dai Lok, former head of the Department of Fine Arts of Normal University and an artist, acknowledged her work in the "Class‧Shanshui Creation Exhibition" in September, saying that she approaches art from the perspective of a literati, and that her works "are free from the constraints and influences of traditions, and she boldly tries to make mistakes, pursuing the purity and texture of her works, which is a breath of fresh air in the art world". They all recognized her ability to create and her "human" oriented spirit.

A rare exhibition of her large-scale masterpieces, "The Cloud and Stream Calculations" The year 2020 was a turning point for Jiang Xinjing's art. She said that her studies and exhibitions were halted due to the impact of the epidemic, but her inner drive to create was burning, and she moved to the mountains in order to find more space for her creations. This year's exhibition will feature a large-scale work, "Yunxi Calculations - Si-Net Series," which is five meters wide and has been selected for the second time this year as one of Taiwan's newest art awards. The upper image uses topography, dyeing, spraying, painting, and flowing to interpret the changes of clouds and mist in the valley, while the lower image uses one-time writing to present the changes of the water in Dajia Creek, with the white space in the middle symbolizing the openness of the universe."

Jiang Xinjing explains that he lives in the mountains during the creative process, and when it rains, the clouds rise from the mountains along the Dajia River, gathering the spirit of the mountains. I thought the "white space" of ink and wash was an aesthetic of emptiness, but in fact, the clouds, which wipe away the scenery in a flash, are themselves solid and full of power. In the six months of sleepless creation, the evolution of clouds and streams creates a space for contemplation and meditation beyond the algorithm.

Prof. Xie Qichang, the curator of the exhibition, said that the exhibition is mainly composed of new works, combining text, ink and installation, and the interplay of different media, especially this work, which "presents a contemporary vision of humanism," is the highlight. In addition, artist Zhuang Liantong, a professor at the Department of Fine Arts of the National Taiwan Normal University, also liked her work and pointed out that it was rare for her to present "majestic momentum" and "unrestrained charm" in her abstract ink and colors.

The finale of Jiang Xinjing's exhibition is "Flying Flames of Ten Thousand Mountains," inspired by a cycling trip to Sweden in the fall of 2001, where the cold weather and the maples all over the mountains ignited a youthful passion that she had no regrets about. Xin Jing used ink wash, stone green coloring, pine needle brush strokes, and gold leaf stacking to complete the six panels of "Flying Flames of Ten Thousand Heavy Mountains," recreating the memory of the burning autumn scenery of northern China.

And in accordance with the ancient method of making 〈Flying Flame Wan Chong Shan〉 six curved gold leaf screen, the cause is the heart of the quiet and deep love of the "Dream of the Red Chamber" and "The Tale of Genji" in the book of the screen, the timing, location and people, to find the three national treasures of conservationists to collaborate with the wooden lattice with the Kataten, without a nail, glued on five or six layers of paper to become a hollow paper frame, the outer frame of the yellow pear, the back of the frame of the Japanese brocade, the heart of the painting using the digging framing, no splicing marks, can be 360 degrees rotation, the perfect combination of contemporary art and craftsmanship. This is a perfect combination of contemporary art and craftsmanship.

The "Cloudy River, Arithmetic - Creative Works by Jiang Xinjing" will be on display from November 22nd. On November 25th, dancer Zhou Zhangxian will be invited to perform "Cloudy River, Arithmetic" in front of a piece of artwork, accompanied by "Flowing Water" composed by guqin virtuoso Joon Kwan Chen, which will start a multi-disciplinary dialogue between dance, music, and literary arts. People interested in painting are welcome to visit the De Ming Gallery of the National Father's Memorial Hall during the exhibition period to enjoy this not-to-be-missed visual feast.
