He Jingsong

He Jingsong is a highly regarded young artist in the field of Chinese contemporary art, known for his contemporary translations of traditional lacquer and wood sculpture. Using wood and lacquer as his core media, he transforms the material into a metaphor for modern human relationships and the nature of existence through the technique of layering lacquer, which is derived from Ch'u lacquer ware-each coat of lacquer is a cover for the wood, as well as a "mask of personality" constructed by modern people in their social interactions. Each lacquer film is not only a cover for the wood tires, but also a "personality mask" constructed by modern people in social interaction. His works create a spiritual space that transcends materiality through the interaction of abstract modeling, light and shadow, demonstrating an exploration of the fusion of Eastern aesthetics and Western modern art. He Jingsong's artistic practice is not only a revitalization of traditional craftsmanship, but also a breakthrough in the language of contemporary art. His works have been exhibited in organizations such as Cloud Gate Gallery and have received attention from curators and academics. By liberating lacquer from its decorative function, he gives philosophical depth to this ancient medium, making it a vehicle for exploring time, memory and identity, providing a unique path of reflection for Chinese contemporary art.
