FANG LIJUN CERAMIC WORKS EXHIBITION
Fang Lijun is one of the paramount representative figures of Chinese new art movements. Through the display of nearly 60 manuscripts, videos, ceramic experimental installations from different periods, and the latest porcelain prints, the exhibition showcases his comprehensive creative vision in the ceramic medium, transcending standards and the process and outcomes of his creations.
The theme of this exhibition, "Bone of the Bone, Flesh of the Flesh," is derived from the story of God creating Eve with one of Adam's ribs in Genesis, which reminds us that bones and flesh are the origin of life. Densely structured and highly delicate, the ceramics created by Fang Lijun not only reveal his profound reflection upon the truth of life and his creative approach, but also enable us to see how the artist has used the artistic language of ceramics to start a brand-new experiment apart from his iconic bald-head image and flamboyant color aesthetics.
