Mocube is pleased to announce that we will host artist Fu Jingyan's latest solo exhibition, Wild ∗ Among Blossoms, on December 21, 2024. This will be Fu Jingyan's second solo exhibition at Mocube, following Watch Out for Snakes in 2023. The exhibition will run until February 9, 2025.
In my daily practice, alongside painting I have always been particularly drawn to materials—their relationships serve as both a complement and a site of exploration. Through painting and by understanding the properties of materials, I create works that address my perceptions of daily life, satisfy my expressive impulses and mark one personal node after another amidst the flux of external changes." Wild ∗ Among Blossoms " , the title of this exhibition can be understood as a "field". Through this exhibition, I aim to reflect the imaginations and emotions that have been filtered through my daily perception. The “rabbit” appearing in the paintings is an image used to convey both obstruction and connection, bridging the distance between reality and the surreal,and serving as an exploration of time made concrete within space. In this enduring life journey, the "The Naughty Boy" gripping a stone embodies a primal, instinctive response to external emotions. My irregular depictions of my left and right eyes serve as records of my present emotions, responding to my state of mind in specific moments. By treating the self as a perceptual apparatus within this environment, I seek to experience the vivid vitality and delicate fragility of life’s force. Several material works in this exhibition incorporate remnants and found objects from daily life and work—wooden blocks, plywood, sticks, feathers, magnets, and more. By leveraging their inherent properties and interconnections, I generate new meanings. It is only through direct engagement with these materials, by touching them myself, that I can reach beyond rigid concepts and uncover unknown subtleties and warmth.
