Axel Vervoordt, Shi Zhiying, All Things in Kinship - Curated by Dr. Shen Qilan
Opening in presence of the artist on Saturday, June 14 from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. Axel Vervoordt Gallery is pleased to present the first solo exhibition in Europe by Chinese artist Shi Zhiying (b. 1979, Shanghai) titled, All Things Kinship. Shi Zhiying’s seascapes and intricate depictions of rocks and gemstones convey the philosophical tension between emergence and concealment. Drawing inspiration from both Eastern and Western art tradition, she adeptly captures the life-movement of the spirit through the rhythm of things and the inner logic of breath emphasised in Chinese painting, utilizing colour, texture, and brushstrokes. In the recent years, she has focussed on colour experimentation to explore concepts of ephemerality and permanence through the interplay of abstraction and figuration.
