”Jingwei llena el mar” proviene de un mito antiguo de China. Jingwei era originalmente la hija menor del Emperador Yan. Un d\u00eda, mientras jugaba en el mar del Este, se ahog\u00f3; su esp\u00edritu se transform\u00f3 en un peque\u00f1o p\u00e1jaro que, desde entonces, lleva ramas y piedras para arrojarlas al mar sin descanso, d\u00eda y noche,con la esperanza de llenarlo por completo. Esta historia ha circulado en Chinadurante m\u00e1s de dos mil a\u00f1os. No es un mito muerto ni remoto, sino un s\u00edmbolo que sigue re-activ\u00e1ndose constantemente.
\nLa serie “Agujero negro” (2020) presenta un c\u00edrculo negro y denso que irrumpe en paisajes, generando m\u00faltiples interpretaciones: como mirada insondable al flotar o como abismo al posarse en el suelo. Este elemento minimalista crea una atm\u00f3sfera de ciencia ficci\u00f3n y extra\u00f1eza. Dos obras destacadas, que muestran paisajes de Valencia y de China, utilizan peque\u00f1os lienzos ensamblados para acentuar la fragmentaci\u00f3n y la inquietud.
\nParalelamente, la serie “Papel en blanco” tambi\u00e9n rechaza una lectura \u00fanica: el papel y bol\u00edgrafo pueden simbolizar desde un interrogatorio hasta la introspecci\u00f3n.El papel vac\u00edo suspendido sobre el mar, en di\u00e1logo con la obra “Leyenda – Jingwei”,representa un ciclo eterno de esfuerzo y resistencia fr\u00e1gil pero persistente. Ambas series comparten una poderosa ambig\u00fcedad simb\u00f3lica.<\/p>\n

Jingwei Filling the Sea<\/p>\n
\u201cJingwei Filling the Sea\u201d originates from an ancient Chinese myth. Jingwei was the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan. One day, while playing in the Eastern Sea, she accidentally drowned. Her soul transformed into a small bird, which, ever since, has tirelessly carried branches and stones to throw into the sea, hoping to fill it one day. This ancient legend, passed down for over two thousand years, is not merely a distant and tragic myth\u2014it symbolizes the endless regeneration of life and the enduring vitality of culture.<\/p>\n
The \u201cBlack Hole\u201d series (2020) presents black, absorbing spaces that differ from conventional landscapes. The artist\u2019s brushstrokes create a hazy sense of suspension and mystery, as if the picture itself were a deep, unfathomable abyss, a bottomless pit of the unconscious. The extreme contrast of black and white generates a strange, almost ritualistic spatial tension and a sense of detachment. These two tones\u2014white reminiscent of Western modernist abstraction, and black recalling the dense ink fields of Chinese landscape painting\u2014are juxtaposed through collaged fragments of numerous small canvases, intensifying the sense of rupture and instability.<\/p>\n
In contrast, the \u201cWhite Paper\u201d series conveys a stark and minimalist visual impact. The single table and sheet of white paper become metaphors for introspection and confession, while the blank expanse evokes both the end and the beginning of creation. The circular \u201cJingwei\u201d form thus becomes an allegory of endless repetition and futile struggle, hinting at both persistence and fragility. Together, the two series form a symbolic labyrinth filled with tension and contradiction.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":2600,"template":"","exhibitions_type":[4],"class_list":["post-2584","exhibition","type-exhibition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","exhibitions_type-solo-exhibitions"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/zhouzixi.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/2584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/zhouzixi.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/zhouzixi.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/exhibition"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zhouzixi.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/zhouzixi.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"exhibitions_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zhouzixi.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibitions_type?post=2584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
