《Whereabouts》Wang Jie Solo Exhibition
Faced with the World and the Product of Human Beings
Chinese artist----WANG Jie shows the public some fine photography, painting and
installation works in his Diamond Sutra series. Having imprints the Buddhist
scriptures---Diamond Sutra on 5169 pieces of Qingtian stone, WANG Jie has placed
and photographed those seals and also printed them on paper with Vermilion inkpad,
from which the head portraits of the leaders of various countries like MAO Zedong,
HUA Guofeng, HU Jintao, KIM JongIi, etc, could be seen indistinctly. Besides, with the
help of the combination between those seals and the corresponding interpret of
Chinese, English, and Korean text versions, Mr. WANG explains the Buddha’s creeds
by the way of folding and binding in China. In virtue of the traditional aesthetics, Mr.
WANG’s works make a connection between the essence of Buddhism and modern
politics and civilization. Furthermore, it also reflects that as an objective reality,
knowledge, after people’s selective use, sometimes may lead us into a wrong
direction and sometimes may present a color of right.
