Booth B08
Capsule Shanghai is pleased to present a solo project by Chinese artist Kong Lingnan (b. 1983 in Jilin Province, China), showcasing her recent oil paintings on wood making their debut at Art Antwerp. Rooted in her on-going exploration of the inner world, this body of works continues to bridge the human and the unseen worlds through Kong’s journey to the Greek islands following the physical and spiritual paths of the late American poet Robert Lax (1915 - 2000). The works portray scenes inspired by real-world experience, and yet reflect psychological landscapes. Realized with glazing and other ancient techniques commonly used in classical painting, the delicate and nuanced works shimmer in a mystic aura that transcends specificity of time and space.
