1988年出生于江苏南通,现工作和生活于杭州和上海。

季鑫作品呈现的怀旧姿态,是对理想化过去的悼念。在这一层面,季鑫的作品与齐美尔的指向不谋而合。沿着季鑫的路径我们踏入的,是一个在现实中不断滋长的白日梦,这种体验就如同阅读了一本小说,文字中提供的元素经由阅读人的转化,变成了一个真切的存在,一个暂时的庇护所,一面镜子或者一段模拟他者存在之后自我印证的体验。大多数人经由狭小通道所经历的短暂时刻,对于季鑫而言,是一个值得开拓的广阔天地。绘画成为了季鑫穿过现代迷雾,在寻找实存路上创造出的实存。在这个过程中,艺术家创造出的那个极其个人化的世界,在我们面前铺陈开来。


Born in Nantong, Jiangsu Province in 1988, currently works and lives in Hangzhou and Shanghai.

Along the passage of Ji Xin’s practice, we enter a trance that keeps blossoming in reality. This experience is like reading a novel, where the elements provided in the text are transformed by the reader into concrete existence, a provisional sanctuary, a mirror, or an experience of self-verification after simulating the existence of the other. The brief moment that most people endure through narrow passages is, for Ji Xin, a vast landscape worth exploring. Almost out of his desire for certainty, Ji Xin painted the rooms and the symbolism of the rooms just right; everything is within reach. Painting becomes a reality created by him in seek of the truth through the haze of modernity. In this process, the distinctively personal, increasingly pellucid world introduced by the artist elaborates in front of us.
