Tang Contemporary Art is proud to announce the opening of Mao Xuhui’s solo exhibition “WILL”, curated by Dai Zhuoqun, featuring fifteen of his oil paintings of ‘Scissors’ and ‘Chairs’ series on January 8, 2020, at the gallery’s Hong Kong space in H Queen’s.
Like many of his contemporaries, Mao Xuhui has developed a kind of branding identity for his work through the repeated use of figurative daily objects. After evolvement of 3 decades from the motives of ‘Scissors’, ‘Paternalism’ to ‘Daily Epic’, the meaning of scissors and chairs have grown from home and country, feudalism and authority to the metaphor of life, death and family bonding. His ’Guishan‘ series since 1980s is a tribute to humanity and homeland.
Gallery address: 10/F, H Queen’s, Central
