3812 Gallery is pleased to present “Dusk Upon the Hush: Liu Guofu Works on Paper Exhibition", the artist’s first solo exhibition dedicated to his works on paper series with 3812. As an artistic extension from his quintessential oil on canvas oeuvre previously showcased at 3812, “Dusk Upon the Hush” showcases 26 works on paper created between 2016 and 2024, demonstrating Liu’s mastery on three varieties of paper works: ink and colour, oil, and oil pastel. The exhibition will be on view at our Hong Kong gallery from 23 September to 29 November 2024.

 Inspired by a poem by the Chinese Tang dynasty poet Wang Wei (699–759 A.D.), the exhibition title "Dusk upon the Hush" echoes the rhythmic and lyrical interplay of light and shadow in Liu's works. Set in a secluded forest where whispers are heard but untraceable, the poem concludes with an ethereal image of dusk light casting shadows on a bed of moss, evoking a sense of serene vitality.
