Lin Jingjing 林菁菁, China Dream: Waiting for the Miracle 中国梦: 等待奇迹, 2015, Mixed media on canvas 综合材料, 130 x 130 cm 

DE SARTHE BEIJING is pleased to announce the second exhibition at their newly opened Beijing gallery: ‘Lin Jingjing: Tomorrow was Wonderful’, a solo exhibition from Beijing-based artist Lin Jingjing. Lin Jingjing is well known for her mixed media works on canvas, installations, and performance pieces, which commonly feature thread and embroidery. The exhibition will open on Saturday June 13th, 2015, at 4pm.

In her ‘China Dream’ series, the artist plays on one of the biggest buzzwords of current Chinese society. The ‘China Dream’ is a recurring slogan in China’s current society, used to describe roles and aspirations of individuals and also those of the nation. Through her works, Lin examines how this ‘dream’ can have different interpretations for each person and invites her audience to consider these interpretations, and to compare and contrast them to the wider national context.

The exhibition features installations and sculpture alongside Lin Jingjing’s surreally-colored canvases, allowing the viewer to lose their sense of reality and become immersed in hers, journeying through her imagination as she guides them through her interpretation of contemporary society.

'Tomorrow Was wonderful' invites us to look back and consider what our aspirations had been like for the present. In this time dominated by the idea of the collective 'Dream', the future is beautiful, a time of progress and achievement. However, Lin suggests that perhaps when we get there, we will look back on our visions for tomorrow and see warm memories born of optimism rather than a reflection of reality.
