Her Face ——Dual Exhibition of Huang Jia (Julia)&Fan Zhen

In the contemporary order of existence, what can women become? "One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman." - Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex to "There is no gender identity behind the expressions of gender; that identity is performatively constituted by the very 'expressions' that are said to be its results." - Judith Butler, Gender Trouble, the discussion on reshaping womanhood finds expression in the works of Huang Jia (Julia) and Fan Zhen. The exhibition "HER FACE" does not generate female narratives through specific female portraits or visual stories. Instead, Huang Jia uses minimalist lines and shapes to layer traces of life and threads of time on the canvas. Fan Zhen depicts the world through dots, shapes, and light, connecting her heart to the imagery. Through their works, they articulate the diverse representations of themselves and of women. Women are no longer different paradigms of "puppets"; countless women will generate endless female "appearances."
