The art of the Well Sword
Artist Jing Shijian
In my work, the relationship between tradition and modernity, East and West, the individual and the world, ideal and reality is deeply and wonderfully intertwined, and coexists in a certain confrontational tension. And this entanglement presents what we need in this mixed state of our time, what we follow or what we don't follow, what we should avoid, what we should abide by, all I think this is very important. We should grasp this process with a follow-up, accumulation and thin development from the basic essential structure of the existence of things.

In addition to precision, there are many things to identify with feelings. He wasn't clear, but he understood. There is a topic that studies the atmosphere in the aesthetic experience, called "atmosphere aesthetics". I was surrounded by the atmosphere and atmosphere created in his works, and I felt in his aura.

The art of Jing Shijian is like a kind of museum art, which is the collection of antiquities and the cultural civilization of predecessors, and is arranged according to a certain procedure. His paintings have a kind of mural-like realism from a distance, unlike some of the current forms of painting, very specific about a specific thing in contemporary life, a state, a feeling, he is a chaotic, a bit like the predecessors, especially like Chen Ziang's poems in the sense of heaven and earth sinking sand, he uses classical forms to express contemporary feelings.

"East and West", although Jing Shijian is engaged in oil painting creation, the breath permeated in his works is the breath of the East, and the Hangzhou he shows with oil painting is touching. "South and North", as a northerner living in the south, has received the nutrition of the two Chinese civilizations of nature and the day after tomorrow, and it is the nutrition and moist breath of the west lake that makes his works have a different dimension from many northern artists. "Ancient and Modern", Jing Shijian's "Eight Views of Xiaoxiang" series, there are many nostalgia and humor, there is a kind of reverence, helplessness and remembrance of contemporary people facing such a thick tradition, and a kind of difficulty of how to place themselves in the current time and space, which more reflects a kind of helplessness and difficulty of contemporary people.
