Jean Rim
Rim’s artistic carving process draws inspiration from organic, repetitive arrangements found in nature—the iridescent scales of a fish, the elegance of Fibonacci spirals, concentric circles in water—and these patterned worlds emerge through a careful carving and gauging process that reveals layers of kaleidoscopic color in the underpaint.

Ji Dachun
has a solo show opening at Aye Gallery in Beijing later this month—and he lets us know what’s in store, as Artnet asks him 7 questions on creating the conditions for a ‘perfect picture’. Tldr; for this new work Ji leverages the compositional structures of traditional Chinese landscape paintings to tap into psychological, experiential themes and ideas (abstraction is a departure for him).
