Shen Ling's Artworks Show:
- Shen Ling was the first female artist who subjectively represented topic of “sexuality” in China with a positive light. Her nearly hedonistic expression on “sexuality” and “passion” coins on the perspective of female angles and personal experience, it steps from the sensibility and multiplicity of life. She applies her unique instinct to comprehend every truth that is vital, emotional and meaningful. And such comprehension was premised under her distinctive gender identity in which is “gender” consisted of the basic framework for personal experience.
- In her creative works of the past ten years or so, it is apparent that Shen Ling’s art has been completing a journey of self-transformation and elevation. She was not greatly affected by artistic trend or commercial distraction. She respects her real feelings, and expresses the details of life and the unique tensions in our existence according to her own understanding and experience. By combing through the content of hundreds of her works, we can summarize key motifs that appear repeatedly, for example, women, men and women, love, passion, relationships, social life and etc. However, over the three periods of her artistic development, the disposition and proportion of these key words has changed, clearly conveying changes in her personal experience and feelings.
- She Ling is a sensible artist. She is sensitive even to the minute changes in herself and what’s around her. She paints according to her sensitivity, without abiding to any set rules. She is constantly inventing new “styles”, and abandons them without any doubts. In the last two years, her paintings has shown new changes, a shift from the private life in the bedroom to the public space of the urban setting in order to capture urban life under the consumerist era rendered in a more free painting style.
