Shan Shui Reboot: Re-envisioning Landscape for a Changing World

March 7 – July 7, 2024
Artist Talk with Yang Yongliang: May 7 at 6pm

We are pleased to present a special spring exhibition, Shan Shui Reboot: Re-Envisioning Landscape for a Changing World, on view from March 7 through July 7, 2024. The exhibition highlights a new generation of artists who are reinterpreting traditional Chinese landscape painting in the context of today’s global social issues and climate crisis. Shan shui refers to the time-honored painting of natural landscapes with brush and ink focused on an awareness of inner spiritual philosophy. The exhibition features the recent work of seven established and emerging artists including Lam Tung Pang, Yi Xin Tong, Kelly Wang, Peng Wei, Fu Xiaotong, Yang Yongliang, and Ni Youyu. More than 40 works – including paintings, photographs, installation, and video – will be exhibited, and many are being shown in New York for the first time.

Join us for an enlightening evening with acclaimed artist Yang Yongliang in May. In this special talk, the artist will delve into the inspirations and techniques behind his innovative works. Yongliang is renowned for his digital collages that blend the aesthetic principles of traditional Chinese shan shui (mountain-water) paintings with contemporary themes, creating visually stunning landscapes that reflect on modern societal issues.
