Petal 2 | BIAN JING

€0.00

Petal 2 (2025) by Bian Jing expands the visual language introduced in the series into a more panoramic and architectural format.

Executed in acrylic on canvas, this large-scale composition unfolds horizontally, allowing the organic black forms to stretch, overlap and confront one another across the surface. The interaction between deep black masses, luminous white voids and saturated red passages generates a dynamic tension that feels both visceral and controlled.

Unlike a literal botanical reference, the “petal” becomes an abstract force — an expanding body, a fragment in transformation. The bold gestures suggest movement and friction, while the negative spaces introduce moments of pause and breath within the composition.

The elongated format (102 x 200 cm) reinforces its sculptural presence. It reads almost as a visual landscape — a field of energy where density and emptiness coexist. The red chromatic zones intensify the emotional charge of the work, creating a subtle dialogue between warmth and shadow.

About the artist

BIAN JING

Bian Jing (b. Tianjin, China) is a contemporary artist whose practice is rooted in painting and extends into sculpture and spatial installation. Working primarily with oil on canvas, her work explores inner states of emotion, memory and transformation, translating personal experience into a powerful and intuitive visual language.

Through expansive gestures, layered pigments and bold chromatic contrasts, Bian Jing allows painting to become an act of release. Her compositions emerge through movement rather than premeditation, transforming color, texture and rhythm into carriers of psychological intensity. Abstraction, in her work, is not a formal choice but a necessity—an immediate response to the complexity of lived experience.

Flowers appear recurrently in her paintings as symbolic forms rather than representational motifs. Reduced to expressive signs, they embody tension, resilience and emotional awakening. Deep blacks evoke restraint and silence, while vivid reds express vitality, desire and the impulse to break through limitation, creating a charged dialogue between control and freedom.

Bridging Eastern sensibility and Western expressive traditions, Bian Jing’s work positions painting as a space of emotional clarity and inner liberation. Her practice invites viewers to encounter transformation not as a resolved state, but as an ongoing, visceral process—one that unfolds through gesture, color and instinct.
