...... Wang Jianxiao spent many years in the United States, where her creative approach was shaped in part by American postmodern art. Her "Color Circle" series showcases elements of hard-edge painting and post-painterly abstraction, featuring clearly defined color edges and a palette typically limited to two or three colors. These colors are distinguished by variations in brightness and purity that correspond to the shapes of the edges. However, unlike traditional post-painterly abstraction, Wang does not rely on flat colors or completely eliminate brushstrokes, which help to define the edges. The textures and patterns in the "Color Circle" series reflect her dedication to the core of painting; the canvas's undulations counteract the often sterile feel of post-painterly abstraction, infusing the works with life. The paint flows rhythmically along the circular forms, while straight lines introduce a sense of tension and variation within the composition. Prior to her time in the U.S., Wang Jianxiao honed her skills in lacquer painting at the Central Academy of Craft Art and further developed her techniques in Japan. These early experiences ignited her love for handmade crafts, which is evident in her abstract works that reveal a fascination with painterly traces, offering insights into her artistic vision.
