Wang Chih-Xin has a unique art language and began his art creation in Jing De Town in 2006. His series of “The Lost Glory–Jingdezhen Series No. 25” won widespread recognition internationally. The artworks present his longing and sadness of the disappearance of the porcelain industry. His art concepts are deep of thoughts and wordly. “The Lost Glory–Jingdezhen Series No. 25” conveys the idealist thoughts behind the sadness and also reflects the change in society and self-examination of reality. Wang Chih-Xin firmly believes that art needs to be presented with integrity; therefore, he truthfully presents what he sees and emphasizes more on his feelings. The flying lines and intrusive lights beam through the ruins of the factory in Jing De Town in a disturbed and confusing space. With the passing of time and through the shiny lines and sophisticated brushstrokes, the artist created a possibility of the exploration of philososphy and art that slowly depicts the fall of this once prosperous industry. The factory space is extended as though a time machine. The unique historical background and ethnicity of Jing De Town made this artwork more influential and thought provoking. “The Lost Glory–Jingdezhen Series No. 25” is presented with a depressed retro atmosphere, the splendid basic is blended into this tranquil yet longing artistic concept.
