Description
Tang Contemporary Art is pleased to present “Mahuangliang”, the solo exhibition by Chinese artist Duan Zhengqu, at our Hong Kong gallery space. With a deep and lasting enthusiasm and devotion to the rich and raw humanistic features of the Loess Plateau, the exhibition features Duan’s signature paintings across 15 years as a tribute to the modest Northern Shaanxi peasants and secret rural villages.
Duan Zhengqu has long established with his distinguished, dark-toned paintings, using lavish gradients of black and brown. His artistic language is deeply influenced by the strong and heavy style by French expressionist Georges Rouault in his late period. Duan combines surrealism and elements of ancient Chinese murals to develop a unique pictorial style which is both raw and mysterious. Themed with “Mahuangliang”, the exhibition presents the daily scenes and suburb views of plateau villages in Northern Shaanxi, where the artist repeatedly visits, stays and dreams about.
