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.
