An exhibition of new paintings by Qijun Li and Kingston Poplar.
–
Representative of its own personal struggle, this work is a documentation of its journey back to a familiar place. Spanning over the course of one year, we are presented with a curated exhibition of paintings and drawings thus far, however by no means have they arrived at a desired final destination.
Individually the work has its own personal connotations attached to the artists themselves, but ultimately as a holistic entity, this exhibition seeks to pull both artists from the depths of creative struggle and back into a paradise lost but is eager to be found.
The end of the exhibition without explanation or warning or psychological interpretation throws both artists forward into a new life. What they will make of it, is left to the gap of time.
