Last day to view “12 Brides” by @yirui_jia is today! @ BBG #LA From the Press Release: “The Bride as we know her contains a spirit of nonchalance and fearlessness. It is through her famously zany adventures that we have come to appreciate and love her. These paintings dive into the lesser-known side to The Bride’s journey—that of self improvement, reflection, and existentialism. Much like the spontaneous disposition of her characters, Jia has embraced the impromptu as evidenced in the many gestural marks seen in these works. Remodeling the relationship between line and color, Jia has sprinkled in clues that ultimately tell a larger story. Using painting as a visual narrative has always been the goal in building upon this universe of outlandish personalities. Jia relinquishes control of this medium in her process, leaving something to be revealed, even to the artist herself...” 🪷🍉🌊🔥🎾🦷💜🍒✨❄️💍 #yiruijia #thebride #soloexhibition #frozenhot #watermelonwave #marfa #tiktoksawitfirst #skyfall
