The spiral, an enduring symbol found in nature and art, embodies growth, life cycles, and the universe's evolution. Jiang Miao, an artist with Eastern philosophical influences, employs this motif in her series titled Spiral of Energy, currently on display at Seoul's Whitestone Gallery. The exhibition, which runs until August 23, presents a collection of monumental painted wood carvings that explore concepts such as Taoist Trinity and the Self, Heavenly Eyes, Mindfulness, and Origin.
Each piece within the series is crafted by meticulously carving intricate textures into wood panels and then applying vibrant acrylic paint to generate sensory movement, contrast, and glow. Miao's work is deeply rooted in time, concentration, spirituality, and mindfulness. The largest piece in the show measures seven feet in diameter, emphasizing the perpetual nature of the Taoist Trinity and the Self series.
With its focus on ephemeral and profound themes, Spiral of Energy invites viewers to contemplate the essence of existence and the universe's order through the lens of this ancient symbol.
