JIA LU Jia Lu's work resonates with Eastern philosophical and Western religious concepts, blended with her own deep sense of humanism and personal imagery. This highly individual and personal approach to painting has endeared her work to viewers around the world. After spending over 30 years working in the West, Jia Lu's style reflects her reading of Buddhist and Christian philosophies. Her goal is to assimilate tradition into a contemporary sensibility and uncover sympathetic currents running through distinct cultures.

"Memory is a river inhabited by elusive fish. It closely resembles a painting by Paul Klee. Sometimes the memories jump out of the water and teach her silver and curved back. But sometimes we need to catch them. Objects are fishhooks memories. Or trawls for the same. Son alarm memory. " Mellado, 1999

Slide 34

Always provoked in me an irresistible fascination ancient objects. Perhaps this is because all traces of existence that accompany them. Some show with hard evidence use, we show faded, about to become ruined. These objects were lived and traces of life, visible or not are there. And that makes them magical. I can think of those people who touched and used, I can think that their existence is part of a story or several. I can recognize similar objects living. These objects are loaded lively memory.

Slide 35

I like to think that the same happens in my paintings. In them I accumulate layers of images as the sum life layers of meaning in those ancient artifacts, such as full of memories live in our memory. We can call to this infinity of events, but others have forgotten and many others have criticized the more or less consciously. The act of remembering is a complex issue, because our memory is not an orderly and accessible archive. Remember seems rather an impossible fight against oblivion and death, where we lose. But we need memory because we require continued to assert ourselves in time. In my paintings the human figure is blurred by evidence of footprints and ghost images, the pictorial surface in them evidence of the impossibility of memories and questions the identity. However the picture remains largely intact as it is in the face lies the last bastion of our identity.

Slide 36

It is difficult to speak of memory and escape the autobiography, but although I usually include self-referential notes, that's not my goal. We can not think of memory as something uniquely individual, can not easily be separated from the group, so I look for empathy with the audience choosing reasons that could revive his memory addressing issues such as childhood or the Christmas holidays. I use intimate biographical photographs, the kind that we all have in our albums, but also included images of the mass media because today the media determine how to live and what should be remembered. But on the other hand also I approach less memory analytically, more impulsive and dialectic, I choose images from the very abstract and sentimental associations suggest me a topic. In the painting process work by adding layers of meaning through images and all kinds of techniques: painting, drawing, collage, transfers... thus the work process resembles the evolution itself. As these ancient objects that spoke before the box is filled with layers of stories, traces of life but also the confusion of the images and the dissolution of the human figure says the difficulty of memory and evidence of oblivion.
