The Unteachable Xiao Jiang
The painter Xiao Jiang is an artist of few words. He presents his story as a simple one. He speaks of his paintings as if they were effortless to make, even though it is obvious that they are long in gestation and slow to come to fruition. He builds landscapes, interiors, and figures to produce exquisitely balanced compositions of subtle chromaticity. Still yet suggestive, they hint at something that has not happened or will not happen, a relationship unspoken, an event that may not unfold.
