Shenyang chi K11 Art Space is pleased to collaborate with HdM GALLERY to present Manuel Mathieu’s solo exhibition "Rising from the Ashes" curated by Feng Boyi. The exhibition is the second stop of this travelling show. The meaning of "Rising from the Ashes" is that after experiencing the torment of flame and pain, the phoenix was reborn and achieved sublimation in rebirth. Curator Feng Boyi tried to use Manuel Mathieu’s immigration, migration, surviving on nomadic land outside, multiple identities, experience-creation, artistic "alchemy" and multi-media visual language to present his vision, living with "localization" and an inner narrative of personal feeling and caring. This not only includes an attitude of "self-regard" within globalization, among different cultures interacting with each other, but also the anxiety and entanglement of "finding one’s home". The exhibition will present some recent paintings, ceramics, installations and recording videos.
