Value Transformation 

Value-Transformation.jpg

Artist She Haiqing presents her debut solo gallery exhibition, ‘Value Transformation.’ Drawing from her background in jewelry design and industry observations, She explores the symbolic power of precious metals and gemstones as reflections of authority and the capital market’s influence on material value. In this exhibition, she challenges these established notions by stripping away the allure of predefined value, revealing the hidden attraction between humans and the materials they touch, shape, and interact with. The concept of ‘abstract labor’ — the undifferentiated human effort behind all physical forms — serves as a foundation, with tactility playing a vital role in her creative process.

The tradition of Chinese seals originated in the Xia and Shang dynasties, reached maturity during the Zhou dynasty, and flourished during the Qin and Han dynasties, culminating in the classical seal art. In the Song and Yuan dynasties, scholars and collectors began to appreciate seals as art objects, marking the transition of seals towards aesthetic artistry. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, led by literati such as Wen Peng from the Wu School, seal carving evolved into a refined art form, embodying elegance and lyrical expression. This tradition continued into the late Qing and Republican periods, witnessing a revival and flourishing of seal carving artistry with the resurgence of epigraphy studies.
