Jin has studied traditional watercolor, and his works are reflections and explorations in the field of graphic design in the context of the digital era. The character of the artwork will reflect back the culture, society, and people of that place and time, and this process is unstable and living. Jin believes that no matter what kind of art form. His evolving understanding of historical events and his continuous polishing of artistic theories continue to develop and innovate his practice

— I am a poet, a photographer, a painter, I am interested the idea of memory communicating and intangible human experience. We recall past experiences through old objects, but we are unable to experience the moment in the same way again. When we recall our memories repeatedly, our memories are altered by our current circumstances. Like archives, I think it is meaningful to collect and collect, hold and value these memories.

EVERY MOMENT

THE BEGINNING OF THE BODY

Memory is private treasure, everyone has their own memories, and everyone’s memories have weight. The fragments of these memories continue to witness our growth. Some memories are sealed in albums, some memories are kept in museums, so what can I do to keep them? I hope that as an experimenter, through some of my visual experimantal, you can see and touch some of the memories of other people.

- — Through a series of experiments, I tried to capture and stitch some of my own memory fragments from my own perspective. Combined with handwritten letters, I found a personal temperature communication.

- — I am inspired by the letters in the archives and the artist's manuscripts. These unfinished "explorations" or "drafts" reflect the true state of the author at the moment. These seemingly worthless objects carry the artist's strong personal experience. Each draft is like a speaker, calmly recounting what happened at that time. Exploring the theme of sound through photography, the photos are works that express the story of sound.

- — I am pretty like the cultural relices in the museum. The marks or pattern on these objects contain a lot of information and unique civilization. In the field of painting, "less is more" is my criteria, and the abstract expressionism painting would always gives the audience more imagination. In CHS, I am discussing the boundary between traditional watercolor painting and digital painting, which includes aesthetic differences, value judgments, technical differences, and whether digital painting is applicable

The inspiration comes from the letters in the archives and the artist's manuscripts. Those unfinished "explorations" or "drafts" reflect the true state of the author at the moment. Those objects carry the artist's strong personal touch. Each draft is like a speaker, calmly recounting what happened at that time.
