The exhibition presents the artist's recent works from 2021 to the present, including special-shaped paintings and conventional paintings. All works are created with mixed materials, including acrylic, oil powder sticks, cloth, spray paint, oil paint and other media. This exhibition is a collection of representative works of artist Ge Yajing.

In the last two years, Ge Yajing has continued to explore composite material painting. Relying on her keen intuition to select and use different materials, and then rational thinking and re-examination of the picture, she constantly overturned and reconstructed it. After countless times of deconstruction and reshaping, she finally produced the original The ingenious and reasonable balance that can be achieved between opposing and repelling substances. The use of a knife is often the first step in Ge Yajing's creative stage, and it is also the most important means in her practice. In the slow and smooth cutting and sliding, the sharp knife flexibly removes the excess, leaving enough bones to accurately construct a complete picture.

When we add the quantifier "a cluster" that originally described flowers to "knife", the power formed by gathering and accumulating adds a touch of tension that is released wantonly. In Ge Yajing's seemingly collaged paintings, under the energy of clustering, overlapping, and publicity, there is an oriental aesthetics of violence dominated by restraint, restraint, and restraint.
