MOU PROJECTS is pleased to present "Imagine Yourself a Warrior," Xu Yang's (b. 1996, Shandong, China) first solo exhibition with the gallery as well as in Hong Kong. Extending from her Rococo-inspired oeuvre spanning still life, lush and meticulous self-portrait, as well as drag performance, the exhibition brings together a new body of paintings centered around an armored, pink-haired, and valiant-appearing heroine—a mesmerizing persona of the artist that aims to challenge the norms and politics revolving around gender, power, and representation. With romantic palettes, delicate brushwork, and an extravagant style, Xu's paintings seamlessly narrate fantastic truths, unfolding an expansive story about divine goddesses, lionhearted warriors, pink unicorns, and spectacular landscapes.
Gallery address: 202, The Factory, 1 Yip Fat Street, Wong Chuk Hang
