intro

JIANXI FANG

Life has been measuring the distance from the world ever since the moment of birth, carefully adjusting the relationship with the surroundings. In the process, the concept of "self" gradually become clear. Scientists use their way to study this mystery, and I am an artist who loves fantasy. I use my own way to find this secret.

In 1987, the first group of 700 users got the cellphone which looks like a half of brick. Only 30 years later, Apple launched their 12th generation smart phone. There is no denying that this world is rapidly changing, and it is so fast that we don’t even have time to discern the direction. In the continuing disappearance and iteration, some people become numb on the way of chasing and running, forgetting to pay attention to the beauty that is close at hand, and betraying periods of sincere feelings. In the end, it is nothing more than the winner is hard to be satisfied, the also-rans lose themselves. Fortunately, there are always sober people in each era. They start to explore inward and start to pay attention to the things that are unchanged and the most indestructible. The talkative tone loses the effect of stimulants on them, but the record of current life can stir up their deep and long-lasting emotions.

Jianxi Fang is undoubtedly one of them.

Appreciating Jianxi Fang's works, you can see Picasso's diverse style, De Kooning's spiritual experience, Kandinsky's sense of rhythm and Malevich's purity. As the painter himself said: "My creation will draw nourishment from a certain period of art history and work hard to continue."

Throughout Jianxi Fang's series of works, you can see an artist's clear path of growth, the clever balance between persistence and change, and his strong passion for life and art. In his early works of "Shape and Color" series, you can feel the sense of alienation of De Kooning. Through the rhythm of colors and lines, the painter shows another aspect of the sophisticated people in this prosperous city —— alienated and lost. Everyone is an isolated island. We built the fence high while shaking our hands to call.

In Jianxi Fang's new series of "Focus" works, the expressionist style remains as always. But the subject of the work shift from psychological portrayal of the characters to the inner exploration of the physical scenery. The unique aesthetic value generated by the painter through the medium is becoming more and more vivid. His work constantly balances the beauty of the shape and color with the material itself.

We can see a lot of depictions of dreams in Jianxi Fang's works. Through the deconstruction of the scene objects that he pays attention to, it transformating between virtual and real in different spaces, and superimposition in multiple dimensions, we can see a real but yet a bizarre world. The intrinsic motivation behind this series of works is an artist's interpretation of himself and his understanding of the world.

Just as the adventurism which De Kooning advocated , close his eyes to create, let the will flow freely, discover new discourse through some "external and objective constraints", and produce unexpected picture structures.
