Shanshui: Echoes and Signals

  1. A huge multi-panel black-and-white ink painting is mounted on canvas in a gallery room with grey walls and wooden flooring. The painting portrays humans and animals resting and interacting amid rocks and trees. They are mostly in pairs and have different poses.

  2. Ink and colour paint spread along a vertical silk surface make rippling lines of black and grey against a whitish background. Some of the ripples converge into small, dark blobs before they unravel towards the upper section.

  3. A painting of two mountain ranges made of layers of rock are rendered side by side in soft pastel colours. An orange sun rises between the mountains. Light grey water stretches across the lower section and reflects the landscape with a surface dappled by small pools of ripples.

  4. A sculpture made of four long metal sheets in light grey resembles a waterfall cascading down a hill. A rectangular panel cuts across the four metal sheets on the upper half. The sculpture stands upright with the support of another rectangular panel on the floor.

  5. The installation consists of two arrangements of pink, grey, and rust cobblestones on the floor. One of the arrangements, which lie further in the distance, has irregular stones piled to form a circle, while the one in the foreground is a neat square assembled by cuboids in different sizes.

  6. Grey pebbles carpet half of the wooden floor along the length of a corridor gallery. On the pebbles, a long stainless-steel plate with a mirror surface stretches across the room with two stones placed opposite each other at the centre. The steel plate reflects the surrounding environment.
