The painting, 'Under the Light' (2019), depicts a street view of Shanghai's French Concession, a low-rise area of elegant colonial-era houses and narrow streets lined with plane trees. As one of the future backdrop scenes of Gao's movie in the making, it incorporates the artist's own state of consciousness present in her paintings and animation, allowing these media to constantly recount the past while flowing toward the future, forming a self-contained structure.
