姜琤首个机构个展正于迈阿密当代艺术中心举行中。此次展览以艺术家对肖像绘画心理力量的探索为基础，精选了一系列近期新作。姜琤专注于肖像的表现力，威严、美丽和令人难以忘怀的作品如同心理密码一般传达了多重身份和含义。

姜琤的肖像作品受概念主义和他的“重叠”策略的影响。作品以编号命名，创作过程一气呵成，没有对其表达的过多纠正或修饰。呈现出虚幻的、流动的、基于过程的面部描绘，通常模糊了种族或性别。姜琤的作品取材广泛，从当代监控技术下的人脸到古典文艺复兴时期的肖像，姜琤描绘了想象的或是具有标志性的人物，他们情绪饱满而又克制，近乎抽象。这些作品静中有动，具有模糊或重叠的特征，他们既是单一的又是多重的，跨越时间与空间。他的创作反映了肖像绘画的演化与准则，展示了肖像所传达的个体性或社会阶层的信息。

此次机构展呈现了艺术家正在创作的两个系列的作品。在“U”系列的巨幅绘画中，每一张脸都撑满了整个画面，仿佛与画布本身处于紧张关系中，因而呈现出抽象的或是被剪裁过的视觉效果。“e”系列名称取自英语第三人称“he”与“she”中的字母“e”，意为“他者”或“我的观看”。艺术家试图以看亦非看的方式辩证地从整体上、本质上描绘“他者”。变化发展视角，从而重建主体与客体的观看结构。此次展览已于2022年11月28日开幕将持续至2023年5月7日。

Jiang Cheng held his first institutional exhibition at The Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami. This exhibition presentation features a selection of new and recent paintings that build on the artist’s exploration of the psychological force of portraiture. Preoccupied with the expressive powers of the human face, Jiang’s commanding, beautiful, and haunting works convey multiple identities and meanings, like psychological ciphers.

Jiang’s portraiture is informed by the processes of conceptualism and by his strategies of repetition. The paintings are numbered and each is created in a single session, without correcting or covering any of his gestures. The results are hallucinatory, fluid, and process-based paintings of faces, often cropped in ways that obscure codes of legible race or gender. Jiang’s paintings draw from a wide range of references, from contemporary surveillance technologies to classical and Renaissance portraiture. He depicts imagined or iconic sitters whose expressions are full yet controlled, and verge on abstraction. These works suggest movement, or doubling, with blurred or repeated features that are both singular and multiple and occupy various time-spaces. His practice reflects expansively on the histories and codes of portraiture, gesturing toward information about personality or social class that images are meant to convey.

The installation features works from two of the artist’s ongoing series. In each of the numbered, large-format works titled with the preface “U” a face is seen up-close to an extreme, as if in tension with the surface of the canvas itself, resulting in an image that seems abstracted or cropped. In the series of works with titles beginning with “e” it is taken from the letter "e" in the English third person "he" and "she"，which means “The other” or “from the view of 'I'”. The artist attempts to depict "The other" dialectically in its entirety and essence by means of seeing and not seeing. Change and develop the perspective to rebuild the viewing structure of the subject and the object. The exhibition opened on 28 November 2022 and will last until 7 May  2023.
