View Larger Image and Additional Photos of JICHANGAbout JICHANG : I am a artist, a teacher, maybe different culture background, how to understand this question will be some mistake, never mind, keep make new works is very important to me, it is an obsession and to be a teacher I think I have kind of responsibility use myself's work and unremitting to let every generation students know we got something more important than make more money. I can not say any achievement or perks, if keep doing and not give up is an achievement ,maybe I have. I have my teaching job and my own studio, now I am in university to built a whole new major about jewellery, it is a big challenge, I became the youngest director of major. I am still make contemporary jewellery art, even always very busy. Why I my interested it....from the beginning, the reason is I like fire fusion the metal,this process is a magic, but now I think I find one thing I can do whole life, that is happiness , isn't it? I am JICHANG CHAI, a chinese artsit.
lots of people think jewelry is a craft, a small craft, not enough to be an art, they are just the thing people who want show off themselves. But from my opinion jewelry can own very integrated art language.
Why we have “Art” because human need record, I always think maybe that is the most primitive reason let people hold rock draw in the caves. Until photography be invented, people use paintbrush record family, story and history. That is art. Contemporary art use abstract express, sometimes lost space between audience and artist. Art works became not that straightforward.
I understand the different between contemporary and classic art, my job is the one kind of new art, but even like that, I still do not want my pieces incomprehensibly, give some space to audience at least, otherwise works are too arrogant. So when I create, focuses on atmosphere. Material is not the first thing I will consider. I prefer put my vigor on narrative, use direct element for communicate. Random finding object and stone is the interesting part in my make process, sometimes that is the moment of action when I found the thing. I have many difference series of my works, every series were different from form and skill. But essence never change. Very important reason is I do not want my creation be recognized by material or form, I hope people can through “feel clue” and elements realize me or themselves with the piece. On the other side, give myself a broad road to keep going, get “style” too early will let me narrow.
My theme come from “life” of myself, works more like diary, record the story I readied, the memory I live through, the dream I dreamed, not because my life is special, just the opposite, I am ordinary, that makes me can narrate as objective traveler, people can find resonance and position from my pieces. Nevertheless, make good looking piece is the first thing, always.
