A Tale of Two Cities Group Exhibition

Enjoy · Art Museum, Beijing, China

October 9 - 21, 2021

Enjoy · Art Museum presents art group exhibition A Tale of Two Cities. This group show is curated by artist Jiannan Wu, and is currently on view at Enjoy· Art Museum (Hall C) Beijing, China. Featured artists are Shiqing Deng, Qingzhen Han, Webson Ji, Weixian Jiang, Fei Li, Stone Zhu, Jingyi Wang, Mingdi Wang, Jiannan Wu, Qian Wu, Duohan Xu, Jim Xu.

The title of the exhibition comes from the historical novel “A Tale of Two Cities” by British writer Charles Dickens. Differ from London and Paris in the novel, the “two cities” refer to the two places where the artist used to live and study, and also the completely different cultural spirits and artistic appearance of the East and the West. All the artists participating in this exhibition were born and grew up in China. They have studied in the United States, the United Kingdom, or are currently working and living abroad. Their art practice is influenced by European and American modernism and postmodernism. Each artist’s work is presented in pairs around the theme of “Twin Cities”. Through intuitive visual expression, the integration of complex cultural backgrounds and artistic practice is the expectation for the artists in this exhibition.
