The Shiver, Jiang Cheng’s solo exhibition at Tara Downs, presents new large-scale paintings from his U-series, exploring abstraction, perception, and portraiture. Jiang captures the tension between seeing and knowing, where images flicker between recognition and disappearance. Faces emerge and dissolve, evoking both intimacy and estrangement. Through light, gesture, and ambiguity, Jiang investigates vision’s instability and the elusive nature of identity.
