历经十余载的不断探索与尝试后，“体向”系列作品成为了艺术家秦姣姣逐渐锁定的个人化风格表达。在这个过程中，艺术家更为关注人的内在世界，用身体元素组构画面，以求挖掘人真实的内在景观。借由“释放身体的自由意志”来向内观照个体的“自我”，由此引出“内观”的概念，即如实观察事物真正的面目，透过观察自身来净化身心。观察身和心不断在变化的同时，身体反客为主，带领人们游走、穿梭于它开拓的新通道与新领域。就如同外部客观世界不停地吸走和掏空人们的主观意识，而身体则会将已脱位的、紊乱的心神逐渐拉回到本体，以寻得某种更为健康和自由的内在秩序。

“体向”系列作品围绕着“身体”元素展开，我们归根结底都是身体的存在，正是身体的经验、经历以及身体的意识、欲求、记忆、反射和感知能力来实践和反映着人的智慧、情感和主观意志。目前现实中还不存在完全抽象的人性、纯粹的精神或离开身体的自我意识，只有将精神、意识融为一体后生机勃勃的身体。在德勒兹看来，“身体”是各种力或能量的集合体，它不是一种本质，也没有固定不变的本质。它不再是一个与心灵实体相对的物质实体，而是一场去本质化后的力量游戏，是不同交叉的力相互作用过程中的一个变量。

我们通过身体在世界上存在，用身体和客观世界建立联系。当我们向内观照“身体”，将重新发现自己，观察和感知各种力与能量的流淌，此刻身体就成为了知觉的主体。而画布则成为了艺术家秦姣姣观察“身体”的所及之处，身体元素在这数平方米的视域范围内开始躲藏、扭曲变形、相互交叠、拼接断裂、翻转蔓延......画面中身体间的纠缠，就如同创作者与观看者之间的互动，突破空间维度的框束，以视觉上的“身体”元素构建出人与人之间能量的链接。秦姣姣还喜欢将时间线铺设进画面之中，色调的冷暖变化、线条的节奏急缓以及形状的流动变换都暗合了时间，“身体”即使没有在密切接触中阴阳交替，也会在时间的维度里四季轮转。

更多的信息被隐藏于画面的“身体”之中。细品秦姣姣的绘画，会发现有一种沉稳而幽静的美，构成一种形而上且意味深长的视觉表达。“体向”系列所塑造的画面更像是每个人最为放松之后的状态，大脑里也许还残留一些滞后的信息在笨拙地转动，但是身体已经不再服从，它蕴含着自己的想法，等待着一股力量将其激活，如若身体对抗不了外在的束缚，就从自身内部寻找出路。

艺术家最新创作的“体向”系列作品画面上充斥着干净的灰色，它们给身体带来了新的力量，诞生出新的关系，好像每一块颜色都是更加离奇的救赎。好似迸发着涌出大地的泥浆，在泥潭里身体浑浊不清，匍匐前行，每一次混乱之后又引领着我们进入救赎的场域，令我们在各种体式里打通新的循环链，一切都在某种坚韧里流转，不同时期的自我在流转，客观和“他者”在流转，丰富的人生色调也在流转……在画面中，一层又一层地叠加和覆盖，让现实中拥堵不堪的我们回望自己那不足两平米的身体，从而跟着身体的去向进入另一个内在世界。我们不再焦虑，慢慢放松，不再害怕失去和消亡，就像负重前行的中年人心之所向的，莫过于卸掉太多的重压，回归简单。大多时候我们毫无愧疚感地压榨着我们的身体，这一刻，可能要停下与外在世界发生连接的动作，转而向内观瞧，聆听身体，随它去往更善意更纯净的地方来安放那个独一无二又短暂的我们。

After more than ten years of continuous exploration and attempts, the "Body Orientation" series of works has become a personalized style expression by artist Qin Jiaojiao. In this process, the artist pays more attention to the inner world of people and constructs the picture with body elements in order to excavate the real inner landscape of people. By "releasing the body's free will" to observe the individual, this leads to the concept of "Vipassana". It means to observe things as they really are, and to purify the body and mind by observing themselves. While observing that the body and mind are constantly changing, the body is leading people to walk through the new channels and new fields. Just as the external objective world continues to suck and hollow out people's subjective consciousness, the body gradually pulls the dislocated and disordered mind back in order to find a healthier and freer inner order.

The "Body Orientation" series of works revolves around the "body" elements, we are all constituted by bodies in the final analysis. The body's experience and consciousness, desire, memory, reflection and perception ability to practice and reflect human wisdom, emotion and subjective will. At present, in reality, there is no completely abstract human nature, pure spirit or self-consciousness without body, only a vibrant body that integrates spirit and consciousness. According to Deleuze, the "body" is a collection of forces or energies, it is not an essence, and there is no fixed essence. It is no longer a physical entity opposed to a mental entity, but a de-essentialized force game, a variable in the interplay of different intersecting forces.

We exist in the world through our bodies and use our bodies to connect with the objective world. When looking inward at the "body," we can also rediscover ourselves, observe and perceive the flow of forces and energies, and the body becomes the subject of perception. The canvas becomes the place where artist Qin Jiaojiao observes the "body". Body elements begin to hide, twist and deform, overlap, splice and break, flip and spread...... within the scope of several square meters. The entanglement between the bodies in the picture, just like the interaction between the creator and the viewer, breaks through the frame of the spatial dimension and builds the energy link between people with the visual "body" element. Qin Jiaojiao also likes to lay the time line into the works, the cold and warm changes of the tone, the rhythm of the line, and the flow of the shape is transformed, and the "body" even if it is not in close contact with Yin and Yang, it will also rotate in the dimension of time.

More information is hidden in the "body" of the image. If you look closely at Qin Jiaojiao's paintings, you will find that there is a calm and quiet beauty, which constitutes a metaphysical and meaningful visual expression. The image created by the "Body Orientation" series is more like the state of everyone after relaxation. The brain may still have some lagging information in clumsy rotation, but the body is no longer obedient, body contains its own ideas, waiting for a force to activate it, if the body cannot fight against the external constraints, it will find a way out from within itself.

The artist's latest "Body Orientation" series is filled with clean grays that bring new power to the body and create new relationships, as if each color is a more bizarre salvation. Like the mud that gushes out of the earth, the body is muddy in the mud, crawling forward, leading us into the field of redemption after each chaos, so that we can open up a new cycle chain in various forms. Everything is circulating in a certain tenacity, the "self" in different periods is circulating, the objective and the "other" is circulating, and the rich colors of life are also circulating... In Qin's works, layer after layer is superimposed and covered, looking at our body which is less than two square meters in reality, so as to follow the Orientation of the body into another inner world. We are no longer anxious, slowly relaxed, no longer afraid of loss and death. Just like the dream of middle-aged people, is to remove too much pressure, return to simple. Most of the time, we put pressure on our bodies without guilt. At this moment, however, it needs to stop connecting with the outside world and instead look inward, listen to the body, and let it go to a kinder, purer place with us, who are unique and ephemeral.
