Jia Jing - Art Loft

Jia Jing
“My artistic creation has not been limited by time, space and media as I do not wish to be constrained by the present. What is the reality? Is that what we hear, see or in contact with? Or is the reality something we judge from our knowledge?”

Artist Story
Jia Jing’s early works portray the scenes related to wars because of how much he was fascinated by guns and army weapons since an early age. The artist’s sensitivity to wars not only rooted from his curiosity and analytical quality of the emotional and psychological impacts that wars bring, but also the violence hidden in the unconsciousness of human beings.

Jia Jing’s recent works feature images with more imagination; and of painting the unknown. In his "Time" series, Jia Jing creates a range of paintings which depict Time magazine covers with cropped images he selected from numerous national news or interesting documentaries. He wanted to draw attention that breaking news differs significantly across geographies, cultures and religions.
