Opening Reception

The exhibition, introduced by Marni Rosner, brings together works representing China’s diverse cultural regions. From Urumqi, Xinjiang Province, Uighur artist Aniwar Mamet presents works in traditional Chinese ink as well as acrylic. Wang Rongchang (also known as Naruo), a Naxi painter and muralist of the Dongba tradition from Lijiang, Yunnan Province, is represented by both ink on paper and oil on canvas. Papercuts by Liang Changsheng offer a playful reimagining of Buddhist tales, while portraits of Tibetan herdsmen by Sichuan-based artist He Duoling evoke the years he spent living among Tibetan and Yi communities in Western China.
