I didn't have chance to visit
ArtSeasons Gallery for a long time, since January, the time of
Art Stage, when I went there for absolutely mind blowing and fascinating
PHUNK's "Empire of Dreams" showcase, and here is a chance: Bejing based Wang Tianxuan's "Mountain Lore" first solo exhibition in Singapore opening on the eve of 11th July.
I must admit, that Wang's oil paintings brought special feelings to me recalling times I had spent in China and especially trip I have made to Yandang Shan in Wenzhou province. Stone formations raising high in a sky, grey tones, misty landscapes, lack of sun and vegetation give viewer feeling of emptiness, deadly atmosphere. Moreover, small details - microscopic figures of animals, such as snake or deer, schematic figures of people or even fairy tale semi-real characters put here an there give you prospective of how huge and high mountains actually are. You also get a sense of nature, that have million secrets, that human will never completely uncover, because it's not possible to discover every corner of those mountains and lakes, those endless squares of inhabited stones.
Pictures below give overview of Wang's exhibition, but to have a complete sunk into mysterious China mountains atmosphere, visit Art Seasons Gallery #02-21/24, 1 Selegie Road until 27th of July, from Monday to Staurday, 11am - 7pm.
