Four Color Theorem

Jiazi Yin’s exhibition invites viewers into a world where individual pieces resonate as powerfully as the collection as a whole. Her square, abstract works challenge conventional orientations, reflecting the profound influence of memory in her artistic practice. Each brush stroke and the interplay of cyanotype and paint demonstrate a distinctive sensitivity, creating an evolving landscape of color, texture, and mixed media. These elements collectively serve as maps, tracing the artist’s journey and sense of self.

Four Color Theorem captures poetic fragments of memory and layers them into a rich tapestry, mapping her experiences over recent years in DC and Georgia, and celebrating her expanding community and temporal story.
