Juxtapoz Blog

Possessing an artistic voice as unique as the times we live in, Sylvia Ji is at once contemplative, spiritual, enigmatic, and yet whimsically funny. Above all else, it is perhaps beauty that emerges as her defining characteristic, and her art reflects this: an extension of herself; a passionate appreciation of simple aesthetic pleasure fused with intimately complex subject matter. Using the simplest of materials to create her work...she would say "letting it magically happen"... the results obliterate the antiquated lines between ostensibly "high brow" and "low brow" art. A self-professed lover of travel and life long student of international culture and art, Sylvia's experiences and relationships continue to shape her exploration of indefinable human emotion. And while the future remains as mysterious to her as she may be to her audience, Sylvia stands confidently poised to continue to surprise. Now, and in the years to come, her life's journey is more than the sum of its parts - drawn from her past, built on the present and beyond fascinating expressions of love and lust, beauty and decay, delicacy and passion.

I'm back from my UK travels! I had an amazing, inspirational time. Thank you to all the supporters, especially Stolen Space Gallery, Corey Helford Gallery, and Richard Scarry from CHG!

 Nectar was a foray into a lighter tone of mood, more euphoric in terms of love & desire but still having a slice of sweet darkness. 

 Stolen Space is in the east end of London, at the Truman Brewery on Brick Lane. Known as Banglatown, it has lot of great curry houses and indian dessert shops, as well as a ton of graff & streetart.

Courtesy of Arbor Collective:

"The Cadence is designed for women who take a park-inspired set of skills to the whole mountain - a no compromise directional-twin that supports spin tricks, rail sessions, and slope style cruising. A structural bird’s eye maple top creates a fun disposition, light-touch initiation, and lively return."
