SGA WING #2 is pleased to present Infinite Divisibility, Qian Jiahua’s debut solo where her canvases slow vision to a crawl; creates an engaging dialogue within the gallery that makes each work ebb and flow.
In the artist’s works, the concepts of “points” and “traces” are highlighted. For this exhibition, the role of the artist is more of an observer, a recorder, and an interpreter. Through the integration of geometrical figures and marks set against an expressionistic palette, the artist meticulously depicts the momentary states and the clues of development within her inner realm in the form of intriguingly simplistic lines, adept brushwork of flat color blocks and concise layouts. “Ideas can grow infinitely, but those points that determine their traces are originally there,” is how Jiahua describes the dimensional structure that governs most of her paintings.
