In August 2025, I participated a group show at Gallery 2727 in Berkeley, titled “Sense of Place“.
Though all my four paintings submitted were accepted for this show, due to space limitation, I chose display only three paintings.
The four paintings are quite descriptive: a person sitting next to an empty chair; an empty room with a lamp and a piano but no person; a woman looking out of a window, seeing the desolate landscape; and a window view of a sparse hill with a lone tiny tree.
Through these Spartan scenes, I tried to capture a certain and emptiness. Empty, desolate, or barren. A wasteland of landscape and ethos. Perhaps, these paintings reflected my upbringing in the rather desolate northern China, under a repressive cultural and political atmosphere, or the zeitgeist of what my current dwelling has become. Forlorn, isolated, and resigned.
Join us at the “Labor of Love” exhibition at Gallery 2727 (Jan. 31 – Feb. 23)
“Labor of Love” is an exhibition that celebrates the joy and fulfillment that comes from creating something for the sake of passion. While funding is an undeniable and welcomed patronage, Labor of Love is work done first and foremost for pleasure. This exhibition recognizes that creativity has the power to center, heal, expand horizons, and fulfill.
Opening Reception: January 31, 6 – 8 PM
