The gallery is pleased to present Crab, a solo exhibition by renowned Chinese artist Yue Minjun. The exhibition traces back his artistic journey over the past three decades, systematically showcasing his major series while unveiling new works that expand his distinctive visual language. Yue Minjun’s artistic practice does not follow a linear path; instead, it moves sideways like a crab — shifting across mediums, repeatedly returning to specific motifs, while maintaining tension among multiple directions. The exhibition Crab names this nonlinear, non-unidirectional creative structure, metaphorising how the artist “walks on multiple legs” to break free from a singular perspective, thus, examining artistic creation and social reality through multidimensional exploration.
