Qingliang Mountain

Every Jing’s painting is produced on the basis of his unique life experience, for instance, scared of having a injection, feeling awkward when ran into the bathroom janitor, fighting at school, touched in the best friends’ wedding party, and converted to Buddhism …. Different from naturalistic paintings, simple lines constitute the spiritual and lingering charm of traditional Chinese paintings. Jing chooses to draw with plain colors and single lines in a way of restoring the “children’s drawing”, creating a casual and natural style. He records but not merely portrays memories – concerning emotional changes. 

Jing’s imaginative works are full of sweet colors, lovely characters, funny expressions and fantastic plots, revealing childish naïve styles everywhere. He frees his emotions naturally and instinctively through the method of “arbitrarily smearing” over the canvas; while the careful and intelligent thoughts of an adult can also be found. For example, the application of perspective brings the picture more 3-D effects; the strong sense of scene and the arrangement of settings highlight typical personalities of characters and characteristics of objects. Apart from simplicity, his works are endowed with the technicality, decorative characteristic and comprehensiveness. Painting skills can be discovered in seemingly casual expressions and are not overused to belittle the connotation of the work. This is not merely a creation for delighting oneself, but has multiple identities of public nature and groupment, reflecting his calmness, perspectives and humorous sense of the times.
