WHAT
The Shanghai-born contemporary artist (b.1968) has long been associated with painting and calligraphy, of which she received extensive training since her teenage years. Her latest exhibition seeks to express the timeless themes of love and of her hometown, Shanghai. Often composed of maze-like complex lines created by energetically interlaced brush work, her art reflects her artistic principles of simplicity, conveying a range of emotions through her works.

WHY
With effortless flowing lines, shapes, and colours, her creations are the culmination of years of dedicated exploration. Her profound mastery of the brush allows her to liberate her subconscious, transforming intangible dreams and elusive senses into poetic artworks. The resulting pieces possess a poetry that beckons viewers into mysterious realms, where dynamic movements animate still objects.
