Jiahui Shen

My inspiration comes from the patterns from fashion runway, cafe and some cloths. I was attracted by the pink curtain made of velvet in shushu/tong 2022runway, and really like its silky and fuzzy texture. This curtain really gave me a wonderful memory of fashion week. I was also inspired by an exhibition about light and shadow, in which the artist created a dreamy world with mirrors and light. One of the most attractive to me is a piece of green light composed of water lily pool.Thin green lights streaked across the round mirror like ripples on a summer lotus pool.
Finally, I would like to talk about the light brown painting. My inspiration comes from the linen texture of the curtain fabric, which is very rough and semi-transparent.It gives a warm and thick feeling, like a field or grassland

My inspiration comes from the view around my daily life, like cafe, my pets and all kinds of glasswares. For example, the third painting and the fourth one are both my pets, a little dog and a cat. I was attracted by the fur of my cat and it’s thoughtful air. More over, I also interested in the lovely atmosphere of my little dog when it played in the grass. I also very interested in the glasswares and lamps. Their fragility and purity appealed to me. The plants in the bottle and the shape of the bottle form an interesting match. Still life is always beautiful, like a peaceful and interesting way of life.
