At First It Was Extremely Narrow

April 22, 2023 - June 25, 2023

WHAT
The exhibition, which is the first complete selection of the artist’s creative context in China within recent years, represents the artist’s works from 2016 to present. The artist’s long term study of how memories and impressions combine with the reality that people at the bottom of society experience is reflected in his experimental use of easel materials and painting tools. The exhibition aims to create parallel and positional connections between the artworks through their placement in the gallery space, whether their positions are extremely narrow or incredibly wide from each other.

WHY
A childhood in the rural fields of Inner Mongolia combined with several changes to his cultural environment during his career set the artist’s mixed media artworks apart from established frameworks and material attributes of contemporary abstract painting. From long term social observations to instant translations of emotions into art, he creates a visual vocabulary which both expresses and secludes. Viewers are invited to explore this vocabulary in this latest exhibition that plays with the positioning of the artwork itself.
