Jingbei Zheng is an industrial designer and artist from China, who bases her work in ceramics on a minimalist approach to material and form.

Your Fragility is the first exhibition of Jingbei Zhang’s ceramic in Scandinavia.

With the use of haptic languages and forms with a sculptural character, a sense of fragility led my work to new possibilities and refreshing perspectives. It attempts to create a mental space and in-depth cognitive implications that viewers can conceive and transform into a personal memory, unique individually. It freezes the moment depicted in the work of art with imperfections as a metaphor of psychological fragility for viewers, and turns it into something tangible and poetic.

In my work, minimalism is a style of concealment. It captures the sense of simplicity as being sophisticated, in spite of its literal meaning to the contrary.

Jingbei Zheng

Jingbei Zheng only began exploring her artistic practice in ceramics in 2020. Your fragility is a wonderful example of her the vision of her practice and her perception of materials and forms. Her approach to ceramics consciously highlights the aesthetic value of imperfection, which leads to the thematic core of perfect imperfection.

Initially her exploration started with an artistic study about form and tactility of objects, which aimed to investigate how visual and tactile sensations unconsciously influence people both physically and mentally - something exists in our daily life.

Join us for the Vernissage of Your Fragility with artist Jingbei Zheng at the gallery on the ground floor.
