About the artwork
Jiang Miao specialises in contemporary woodblock printing, and explores the experience of being female in a modern world through her captivating works. This work features two women, who face the viewer and convey an aura of solemnity in their expressions. This is reinforced by the monochromatic colour palette used by the artist, which is an attempt to filter and restore order amidst a complicated and colourful reality. The work is free from romanticisation of the female experience, and instead explores the theme with honesty and rawness. With a unique medium, the work is ever changing in nature based on the position of the viewer, creating a fascinating visual experience that is reflective of the changes in life.
About the artist
Born in Jilin, China, in 1981, Jiang Miao is a diverse artist specializing in contemporary Woodblock Printmaking. She studied at the Printmaking Department in the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, China. There she earned her B.F. A. in 2005 and M.F.A. in 2009 with a major in Woodblock Printmaking. An award-winning artist, Jiang Miao expresses her personal experiences as a female artist in Beijing. Jiang Mao prefers this black-and-white woodcut method because of her observation of surrounding people and objects, her deep understanding of the complex and difficult communication problems that arise between self and others, and the use of the cutting lines to match the psychological movements of the mind. Her works were chosen for a joint exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Macau. Widely exhibited, her works have also been shown alongside many renowned Chinese artists such as Xu Baozhong, Xu Bing, Zhou Danmei and Zhuang Hui.
