the skin as one example: Jia Jia
June 2023
As a foreigner living abroad, Jia Jia explores identity, adaptation, and the subtle resistance against the pressures of globalization. Through vivid and sometimes violent imagery of meat and skin, unconventional materials and processes, she challenges viewers to confront capitalism and traditional notions of productivity and efficiency.
Jia Jia is a mixed-media artist and member of SOIL gallery. She received an MFA in 3D4M from the University of Washington (2021) and a BFA in Ceramics, China Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing (2016). She is an active member of SOIL Gallery. Her work has been exhibited locally and internationally at venues including SOIL, Root Division, Field Projects Gallery, Woman Made Gallery, Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute, Jacob Lawrence Gallery, and Henry Art Gallery.
