Exhibition Preface

From Individual to Resonance

Art isthe visual embodiment of perception, the language of form.

Hence, some artists emphasize the congruence between the subjective and objective in their representations, akin to portraiture. Others convey the spontaneous emergence of a holistic scene devoid of causality, as with landscapes. Yet, some pursue the articulation of personal whims and conceptual visions. In my view, Zimu's art emerges as neither a pure representation nor an overt concept. It isn't constrained by formality, isn't burdened by objects, nor muddled with unnecessary actions, even devoid of explicit concepts. It transcends the separation of heart and hands, breaking free from the shackles of technique. It seeks no validation, focusing only on a candid portrayal of the soul, aiming to be a fearless practitioner of spiritual liberation and freewill.

Thus, Zimu forsakes traditional brushes and ink, turning instead to oil paints and acrylics to resonate with the inner surges of emotion. Embracing the universe within, and then explosively expressing it outward. The results are serendipitous effects and irreplaceable moments of the past. Through a third-person perspective, the  artist  reveals  to  us  the  fervor,  tranquility,  complexity,  and  austerity  of  his  inner  world. There's  no beginning, no end, but it leaves the viewer anchored in the present, allowing us a moment of reflection in the midst of our own breathing.

The intimate revelations of the artist echo within us, speaking to the universal significance and shared value of  these  works.  Once  they  resonate  with  us,  their  meaning  transcends  the  individual  artist,  becoming relatable for all.
