Chijia He’s paintings transport viewers to a simpler era, where the bond between humans and nature was more intimate. His impressionist style, reminiscent of Monet and Andrew Wyeth, masterfully blends color, texture, and form to create harmonious and evocative compositions. His use of light and shadow is particularly noteworthy, adding depth and realism to his work.
Growing up near the Pearl River, the largest river in South China, Chijia He drew immense inspiration from his surroundings. He describes his connection to the region with poetic nostalgia:
"I loved the watery region so deeply. I could feel the violin sounds falling into the river surface; the south wind pushed the summer heat so far away… I loved the elegant colors and simple composition integrated into the deep earth."
This profound connection to nature is evident in his art, which serves as a reminder of the beauty that the natural world still holds.
The New Flux exhibition explores the intersection of nature and urban life, presenting a diverse array of pictorial practices. By highlighting natural elements such as landscapes and bodies of water, the exhibition underscores the pervasive influence of nature on urban environments. It posits that our reliance on nature is as significant as our dependence on technology.
Chijia He’s work is a testament to the enduring relationship between humans and nature. His paintings, showcased at the Agora Gallery, invite viewers to reflect on the natural beauty that surrounds us and the profound impact it has on our lives. The New Flux exhibition not only celebrates this connection but also challenges us to consider the role of nature in our increasingly urbanized world.
