Deceptive Beauty: Yao Lu, Zhang Wei, and Yu Xiao
July 13 – September 1
Opening Reception: July 13 | 5 – 7:30 PM
“Deceptive Beauty, a group exhibition featuring the work of three contemporary Chinese artists: Yao Lu, Zhang Wei, and Yu Xiao. In contemporary China, it is difficult for artists to directly engage with their concerns because the government imposes strict consequences on those who challenge censorship. Artists, therefore, must create works that cleverly conceal their opinions on current affairs. These attempts at expression are often simultaneously tedious and playful, as the artists must “dance with the system” by placing hidden meaning and metaphor in their work. With this in mind, Deceptive Beauty features three contemporary Chinese artists who utilize the photographic medium to express hidden meaning.”
