Gao Xingjian
May 18 – Aug 31, 2023
Opening: Saturday, May 20, 5 – 7pm
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the French May Arts Festival, Alisan Fine Arts is honoured to announce its 9th solo exhibition for Gao Xingjian, the first Chinese writer awarded a Nobel Laureate. The French-Chinese author is also a renowned artist and playwright. This is Gao’s first solo exhibition after being awarded the Commander of the Legion of Honour for the second time in January 2023.
Most of the works in this exhibition were created in the last two years, which are a continuation of Gao’s established body of landscape works. His landscape paintings, however, are different from the traditional landscape. Gao does not portray scenes from a realistic perspective but pursues atmospheric light, shadow and air changes, using various shades of ink on the rice paper. Therefore, whether it is fog, moonlight, or wind, the vision appears misty or hazy. The works constitute Gao’s inner world, echoing his award-winning novel Soul Mountain.
