Bai Ming - At the Crossroads of Worlds
24 April – 30 June 2024
National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, Rome, Italy
The comprehensive exhibition attempts to reveal all aspects of this multifaceted artist, bringing together more than 80 works of ceramics, installations, ink and lacquer paintings with mixed media. It examines Bai Ming's idiosyncratic approach to a diverse range of materials that have their roots in the long history of Chinese culture yet become channels of new expressions through his unparalleled techniques. Through the interplay of scale, perspective, light and space, tradition and modernity inform each other to create new meanings in his works, foregrounding the inventive possibilities of our cultural heritage.
