Catalogue Note
Born in Beijing in 1978, Jia Yundi is the daughter of renowned ink master Jia Youfu. Like her father, Jia Yundi studied traditional Chinese painting at the Central Academy of Fine Arts and started teaching there after she graduated in 2010. Unlike her father's grand landscapes inspired by the majestic Taihang Mountains, Jia Yundi chose to depict more intimate and mysterious spaces, usually interiors constructed by a strong contrast between black and white, light and shadow. The private and quiet space invites viewers in through a fixed vantage point: the light coming from an open source, either a window, or door. Similar to the exploration of light by paintings of the Dutch Golden Age, Jia's paintings employ the strong contrast between ink and paper to depict a realistic rendering of an ambient space. The one-point perspective regularly seen in Jia's works marks a departure from traditional Chinese painting, which favours aerial perspective and multiple viewing angles, especially in monumental landscapes like those by her father.
