Absolute – Xu Hongfei Solo Exhibition

Description

Description

Galerie Ora-Ora is pleased to present our first Ora-Ora Masters show: Absolute – Xu Hongfei Solo Exhibition.
Absolute reflects how Xu Hongfei uses the sculptural body to comment on social and aesthetic concerns. This exhibition uses art philosophy to present new ways of understanding his Chubby Women sculptures. This interdisciplinary approach emphasises how Xu’s artworks are elaborately clothed in inference and meaning, making them culturally significant. By challenging the canons of beauty, Xu elicits a discussion regarding the aesthetics of the female form.
The German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) is regarded as the source of modern aesthetics. Hegel argued that “aesthetics is the spiritual manifestation of ideas”. This is the essence behind his “absolute idealism”, which provides a basis for understanding modern art. Hegel’s “absolute idealism” reflects how art is a portrait of the human mind and the embodiment of the flow of consciousness. It expresses in a sensory form an artist’s fundamental beliefs about society and himself. This requires a unity o of rational expression and sensibility. Only by doing so can an artist fully reflect his soul within his creation.
