Alisan Fine Arts is pleased to announce the second solo exhibition Awakening for Chu Chu, a well-known emerging Chinese cross-disciplinary female artist. Based on Chinese philosophy, classical literature and Chinese solar terms, the works on display combine photography, calligraphy and painting. Spanning Chu’s career to date, the works include her early B/W series of dried fruits and tree branches permeated with her contemplation about daily objects as well as her latest photography-calligraphy works tinted with delicate colours. By merging her melodious calligraphic text into images with different landscapes and nature, Chu presents a poetic space where virtual and reality blend and alternate.

Chu Chu graduated from the Department of oil painting at the China Academy of Art, Hangzhou and has further obtained her MFA in new media and PhD in calligraphy under the tutelage of the famed calligrapher Wang Donglin. Her diverse academic background covering traditional and modern media has led to her unique artistic language. By showcasing the various series of works from 2007 to 2022, the exhibition traces the different stages of Chu’s artistic development and highlights her ever-changing talent.
