Huang Jingjie

Huang Jingjie born in Ningbo, China in 1988. After graduating in the China Academy of Art, he stays and works in Hangzhou in China. Huang Jingjie does not paint to present clear images, but shapes and shadows. His paintings are non-experienced still objects with light and shadow in a space. Very often, Huang avoids the familiar and distinctly recognizable images, he intensify the mystical ambience in his works. He employs paper as a recurring symbol in his works, depicting details of the folds, creases, cuts and shapes of the material. In his paintings, paper becomes a means to a journey through time, connecting and suggesting memories, senses and nostalgia. His portrayals of childhood paper toys, open books and wrinkled papers expand what the audience sees in the present as a dual journey of the past and the future.
