Petal 31 | BIAN JING

€0.00

Petal 31 (2025) by Bian Jing explores contrast and structural gesture within a vertically oriented composition.

Executed in acrylic on canvas, the work presents luminous white petal forms outlined with expressive, almost drawn contours. These organic shapes expand across a dark red and black background, creating a dramatic dialogue between light and depth.

Unlike the softer dissolutions seen in other pieces of the series, Petal 31 reveals a more defined and graphic approach. The petals are articulated through visible lines, giving the composition a slightly architectural character. Fine linear marks intersect the surface, introducing tension and subtle fragmentation.

The background carries layered red tonalities beneath darker passages, adding warmth beneath the dominant contrast. This chromatic structure enhances the sense of dimensionality without resorting to literal depth.

At 40 x 50 cm, the vertical format emphasizes upward movement. The composition feels suspended between blooming and unfolding, capturing a moment of structural expansion.

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.
