Hsiao Chin is one of the artists that allows us to see the distinctive abstract art movement in post-war Europe, that is at least as ambitious and interesting as that of the US. This revelatory presentation at 3812 Gallery Hong Kong will focus on his transformative periods, from 1958 till present. It reveals Hsiao Chin’s remarkable artistic achievement as a post war abstract master and his groundbreaking contribution, bringing Eastern spirituality and western abstract art together.
Hsiao Chin has a strong claim to be the most important living Chinese artist in Europe and the most important European artist in China. His 'in-between' status is the reason why art history cannot quite find the right place for him, despite his presence in museum collections from New York's Metropolitan to Rome's National Galerie and from Hong Kong's M+ to Shanghai’s Long Museum, and recent one-person exhibitions at the Song Museum, Beijing, Mark Rothko Art Centre, Daugavpils and Musee Guimet, Paris.
