In ancient times, calligraphy was a symbol of the spirit of traditional Chinese literati. However, in today's rapidly advancing technological society, its practical functionality has diminished, and it has increasingly evolved towards "artistic expression." Amid the interplay of Eastern and Western thought, the content, symbolic characters, and overall form of calligraphy have become focal points of discussion, prompting a reevaluation of its place in contemporary art.
Jiang Boxuan's calligraphy works emphasize the "deconstruction" and subsequent "reconstruction" of textual forms within the traditional essence of calligraphy. Her free-flowing brushstrokes on vast white rice paper resemble dance movements, utilizing dramatic expression to create visual tension, complemented by a rhythmic sense akin to music. Through extensive study of various scripts and calligraphic styles, and an exploration of ancient and modern texts, she internalizes the aesthetic experience of calligraphy. With an open attitude, she seeks to explore diverse creative directions.
Jiang Boxuan aspires for her calligraphy to showcase its uniqueness in contemporary art, pioneering new possibilities and allowing calligraphy to shine brilliantly within modern artistic expression.
