Petal 28 | BIAN JING

€0.00

Petal 28 (2025) by Bian Jing condenses the expressive force of the series into a more intimate and concentrated format.

In this acrylic on canvas, dark petal-like forms radiate from a subtle central point, unfolding across a saturated red background. The composition suggests rotation, tension and internal expansion. Unlike the more open spatial dynamics of the larger works, here the gesture feels compressed — as if the bloom is happening inwardly rather than outwardly.

The red surface vibrates beneath layers of black, creating depth through contrast rather than volume. The transitions between color fields are soft yet decisive, revealing the artist’s sensitivity to tonal gradation and atmospheric control.

At 60 x 60 cm, Petal 28 possesses a quiet intensity. Its square format enhances the sense of balance, while the radial structure introduces movement within containment. The result is a work that feels both meditative and charged.

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.
