重逢

Under the influence of Eastern philosophy, Wang Jie boldly constructed his work with the "attire kept, body eliminated" concept of painting; people's attire, their hinted movements and sentiments are presented in place of the individual and facial display. The unique modeling and visual image, as well as the implicit means of expression are rare and fresh in the history of arts, presenting distinctive visual images. Wang paints with fine, cautious strokes, and rich layers of colour, he is good at delineating various humanistic movements, and creating an illusory scene and hazy setting, by fine adjustment of cool and warm colour tones along with monotonic colours. Rushing in the city, dancing in the open field, walking through the mist, and sprinting on the heath, these "poise of the hollow attire" explores such issues as existence of life, elapsing of time, isolation and getting lost in the modern world. They are trendily dressed and of elegant bearing, but they appear to be in a big hurry, rushing through streets, squares and crossroads towards different directions and places. People are indifferent, isolated; they simply brush past each other, and head for different ends. With this painting, the artist reveals his concern and understanding about modern live, and exposes the inflating wants towards material as well as the empty and lonely sentiments of live.
