Jin Fang is a Chinese artist currently living and working between Europe and China. Working primarily in painting and drawing, her practice is shaped by attentive observation and sustained movement across unfamiliar cultural and ecological contexts.
Fang’s work establishes perceptual links between nature, spirituality, creatures, humans, history, and the subconscious within a shared pictorial space. Moving between the familiar and unfamiliar, she transforms biological and psychic experiences into ambiguous beings that resist fixed identity. Inspired by Chinese mythology and non-anthropocentric thinking, she constructs environments that hold memory, ecological entanglement, and reflection on the human condition.
Fang develops paintings through layering, erasing, and reworking, allowing impressions from travel and daily life to surface gradually rather than from predetermined images. Forms emerge through gestures and fragments that are built, interrupted, and reconfigured into unstable structures, reflecting her understanding of life as non-linear and shaped by repair and adaptation.
