As accurate as words are, they cannot always succeed in being the expression of deeper perceptions, impressions and feelings; those are hidden in remote waves of consciousness that only art can reach. Jiang Yong’s artworks are the imperceptible’s reflection.  He understands that the power of art is the one that conveys the unutterable: all the things we cannot tell, only sense.

Subtle and profound, Jiang Yong communicates through the peaceful yet intriguing bodies and faces the spirituality and the simplicity we need to touch the unspeakable. The paintings remind the Chinese philosophy that inspired him, glorifying the power of the essential: the human beings made of jade are dense and soft at the same time, just as the pure and simple individual. Following the rhythm of the artist’s mental state, Jiang Yong’s artworks reveal the impulse of creation to achieve stability. They question notions such as sensation, purity, subconscious and truth.  He uses art to define the undetectable, to enhance its beauty and specify what it requires to be illuminated: contemplation, calm and simplicity. The quintessence of mind lies therefore in his paintings.

Playing with talent with space and volume, exploring the infinite possibilities of illusion and blur, Jiang Yong creates a tension between precision and rawness to transmit the unclear, abundant, untrammeled and fascinating hidden profound life and complete his and our inner harmony.
