Renqian Yang: Sounds of the Ephemeral
Apr. 3–Jun. 6, 2021
Curator: Lynn Hai
Open House: Apr. 3&4, 11am–7pm, 2021.
New York – Fou Gallery is delighted to announce Renqian Yang’s solo exhibition: Sounds of the Ephemeral opening from April 3, 2021. This exhibition presents Renqian Yang’s ceramic sculptures, wall installations and paintings since 2020. Attempting to touch commonly-shared basic feelings by working on the material ceramic as the medium and colors as the method, Yang has continuously studied and explored human’s subtle emotions, sentimental moments and fleeting inspirations in our everyday lives, and let them stay and flow from her hands, then grow into grotesque blossoms or sprawls.
