Statement
Huiquan Jiang’s art is driven by her interests in perception, sanctity, embodied experience, and the awareness of being. Grounded in the reverence of the universe and its relationship to the human condition, her works span painting, installation, video and performance. The recognition of the synesthetic experience and the credence of intuition have been evoked through her essential and meditative manifestations. Drawing for her, is an imprint of body movement. To explore the essence of abstraction, Jiang looks into the compositional dialectics of positivity and negativity, linearity and planarity, presence and absence. The subject matter of coordination and configuration is to which she pays attention.
GlogauAIR Project
Studying dance for several years, I have been subconsciously impacted by the interpretation of movement in dance, especially contemporary dance. Dancers ground their bodies to the floor, similarly as I ground my hand on canvas. Color and line are the externalizations of my sensation and awareness while my waist and fingers turn and shift on the board. Once they are drawn, they become distinctive characters. I am like a choreographer composing color and line to dialectic in the movement about coordination and contradiction. During my residency I intend to develop my current series of work ‘Xeno.’ To reinforce the dynamic motions in my paintings, I will create a body movement performance that accompanies the paintings as a subscript to demonstrate the potential curvilinear moving hidden in the images. On the other hand, the pictures will add luster to performance, setting up the motion into particular scenarios. The notion of mobility is principal in the display of visual and corporeal gestures. Berlin art scene is the confluence of painting, sound and video art, dance, as well as performance art. I look forward to learning from other artists with various art practices both in residency and in the Berlin art world with various art practices.
