About the Exhibition
Everything that happens in the summer should fall under the name of romance, and art is no exception. And romance is the coming together of all things.
Art+ Shanghai Gallery focuses on romance and would like to invite you to discover its summer’s exhibition “In Between Days”. The 6 participating artists use their own fields of study and explore the relationship between sentient beings through different materials in their latest bodies of work. Although the main themes of their works are different, they use opposing aspects of the world they see around them and create a harmonious and gentle visual environment.
Artist Fang Xu graduated in 2013 from the Sculpture Department of Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts, Shenyang, Liaoning Province. He now lives and works in Beijing and has already been widely recognized as a promising sculptor in the contemporary Chinese art scene. He has won many important sculpture awards in China, and his works are collected by Chinese and foreign individuals and institutions such as the German-Middle-Aged and Young Artists Development Fund, the Changchun Songshan Hanrong African Art Collection Museum, and the Changchun International Sculpture Park.
Fang Xu uses sculpture as a stage to explore the relationship between human beings. His works often feature slender human body or bodies with interweaving limbs. The "Half a Smile" series explores in depth the symbiotic relationship between the individual and others, and the healthier way to face loneliness. Loneliness is a major theme of his work. Even though these human forms are displayed in repetition, their movements are still disciplined. Although people are destined to group together there is still a deep sense of powerlessness when in a group. Artist Fang Xu wants to provoke people to think about a way of finding balance between the self and others. The act of finding balance carries a kind of romance of deconstructing and reinventing oneself.
