ϓމՉ௰աᛇڎٙ˴ᕚʘɓfί 2023 ϋٙ The Rainy Season (Lot 2) is based on the artist’s classic theme of “boat and sea”:
อЪዹБ٫שۜᇜ 1ʕdԒמͣЍ under the azure sky, a white fishing boat sails on the sea. The figure of the driver
ڗࠄٙ˴ԉѬɪəɓሿᔚόٙලЍ̚ӛԓd can be vaguely seen through the windows of the cabin. At the stern rail, there
˼᎘Ꮦኈᗝd˓˙ΣᆵdБት̮˄٤ٙ hangs a red flag, embellished with yellow and pink life-saving devices, bringing a
͊ٝଢdҞή˴ഹۃආٙ˙ΣfՉԒ finishing touch to the predominantly white and blue composition. The protagonist
ܝ݊ᄿ⁞Ͼɓૐೌყٙρ֞d၂ɽٙήଢၾ in a white robe stands on the deck at the stern with a friend, looking back towards
ڝڐٙБᘰॸᓃၢৎ֘ዹٙց٤fϾ˴ɛ the coastline that they are leaving behind. If observed closely, one can notice
a white building hidden in the jungle on the shore. The building is composed of
ʮҗ͍߰ᕎ˰ගॸᓔdशཱུֆֻːʘהΣf a towering dome and rectangular floors, representing a typical mosque in the
ኋ၍Ъۜٙߠ౻̮݊˄٤d̚ԓίϤۍ Islamic world. Since 2020, it has continually appeared in the artist’s creations,

͛ٙ˰ޢdˏɛჼf freedom, opening a new chapter of life. This work embodies the artist’s change in
mindset and the pursuit of the true essence of life.
Beyond the Universe: Racing Towards the Beat of the Heart
Since 2019, Jing Zhiyong has started creating works with the theme of “space.”
Drawing inspiration from the vast universe and intertwining it with familiar
characters and elements of daily life, he vividly portrays a surreal realm that
serves as a canvas for his profound observation. It quickly became one of
his most popular themes. In his new work Lone Ranger (Lot 1) in 2023, the
protagonist, dressed in a white robe, sits in an old black antique car. With
sunglasses perched upon their head, they traverse the uncharted planets of
the outer space, confidently steering their course. Behind him is the vast and
boundless universe, with the large Earth and neighbouring planets illuminating
the lonely night sky. The protagonist, seemingly escaping the worldly tumult,
races toward their heart’s desires, resonating deeply with the audience.
