Qian Jiahua
"One second, one day, one year, one day, one second. My state of creation is constantly approaching to a critical point. Urgent yet patient, steady yet continuing, dull yet invigorating, adventurous yet secured."
－Qian Jiahua
Young artist Qian Jiahua graduated from the China Academy of Art in 2011. She developed extraordinarily keen perception towards colors and composition since she was young and she can even master large-scale of works without a sense of childhood innocence. She is capable of adding a dash of humour in the space as if it is a game,but with perfect precision. Her outstanding talent was already exhibited in her first solo exhibition in 2013, drawing quite amazement from the public.
As stated by her curator in Beijing solo exhibition,“The image of Qian Jiahua is like a building with both accuracy and rhythm. The colours,lines and blocks are integrated through mutual support and proof,while the steps shown on the image are formed by meticulous plans. Nonetheless,what surprises us is that Qian Jiahua never draws a draft before any work and each work is an improvised production from “accidental surprise”. When we observe the image carefully,we may hear the murmuring of an alchemist（an artist）. The colour blocks and lines stack layer by layer through occasional leaps,which eventually forms a virtual space filled with fun stories. Qian Jiahua seems to activate the interoperability with the abstract world through painting,building a strong conversation capacity with colors,lines,blocks,and space. These elements are gathered through a wonderful “Construction Magic”,participating in the drama performance of space. The dramatic effect comes from the frolic of arrangements,the passing of time,the pauses in conversation,the silence in shadow,the colour contrast and response,the block deformation,linear rise,slide,and mutation. All of which are in friction and collision with the mutual relationship,as if each is hidden with identity crisis,fantasizing oneself in an adventurous, exciting and calculated spy movie. Of course,the humor and fun produced in this dislocation comes from the sense of humor in the artist."
